An easy homemade recipe for perfect, fluffy pancakes that are quick to make and ideal for beginners. These pancakes are soft, golden, and delicious, perfect for any breakfast occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups (190 g) all-purpose flour
  • 3 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 ¼ cups (300 ml) milk (whole or 2%, dairy-free options like almond milk work too)
  • 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, salt, and sugar until evenly combined.
  2. In a medium bowl, beat the egg until smooth. Add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract, then whisk until fully combined.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently stir with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined; lumps are okay. Do not overmix.
  4. Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil. Test heat by sprinkling a few drops of water; if they dance and evaporate, the pan is ready.
  5. Using a ladle or ¼ cup measuring cup, pour batter onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
  6. Flip carefully with a spatula and cook another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
  7. Transfer cooked pancakes to a warm plate or oven set at 200°F (95°C) while finishing the rest.
  8. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to keep pancakes fluffy. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking to hydrate the flour and activate the baking powder. Use medium heat to avoid burning. Flip pancakes only once when bubbles form and edges look set. Keep cooked pancakes warm in a low oven at 200°F (95°C).
