These golden, fluffy pancakes are light, airy, and subtly sweet, making them a perfect breakfast treat that’s easy to prepare and endlessly customizable.

Ingredients

  • 1½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 3½ teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1¼ cups milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 3 tablespoons melted butter (plus extra for cooking)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
  2. In a separate bowl, beat the egg and then stir in the milk, melted butter, and vanilla.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined; a few lumps are okay.
  4. Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter.
  5. Pour ¼ cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form and edges set, about 2–3 minutes.
  6. Flip and cook the other side for 1–2 minutes until golden brown.
  7. Repeat with remaining batter, adding butter as needed.

Notes

  • Do not overmix the batter to ensure fluffy pancakes.
  • Use fresh baking powder for best rise.
  • Add mix-ins like blueberries or chocolate chips for variety.
  • Keep pancakes warm in a 200°F oven while cooking in batches.
  • Batter can be made ahead and stored in the fridge for up to 2 days.
