Print Recipe

An easy, quick recipe for light and airy pancakes made with simple pantry ingredients, perfect for busy mornings or casual brunches.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups (190g) all-purpose flour
  • 3 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 ¼ cups (300ml) milk (whole milk or almond milk for dairy-free)
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt until evenly combined.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold with a spatula just until combined. The batter should be slightly lumpy.
  4. Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat for 3-4 minutes. Lightly grease with butter or oil using a paper towel.
  5. Pour about ¼ cup (60ml) batter per pancake onto the hot surface. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
  6. Carefully flip each pancake and cook the other side for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
  7. Serve immediately stacked and topped with your favorite toppings or keep warm in a low oven (200°F/95°C) while finishing the batch.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to keep pancakes fluffy. Use room temperature eggs for better emulsification. Preheat the pan properly and lightly grease to prevent sticking. Keep pancakes warm in a low oven while cooking the batch. Variations include gluten-free flour, vegan substitutions, and adding fruits or spices.
