Description

Delightful homemade fluffy pancake recipe delivers golden, melt-in-your-mouth breakfast perfection with simple ingredients. Crisp edges and tender centers promise a delicious morning start that satisfies breakfast cravings.


Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 cups (360 ml) all-purpose flour
  • 1 egg
  • 1 1/4 cups (300 ml) milk
  • 3 tablespoons (45 ml) melted butter

Leavening Agents:

  • 3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

Seasoning Ingredients:

  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Sift and blend the dry components in a spacious mixing vessel, ensuring a uniform texture without overmixing.
  2. In a separate container, thoroughly amalgamate the liquid ingredients, creating a smooth, homogeneous mixture.
  3. Gently integrate the wet elements into the dry constituents, using delicate circular motions until barely incorporated – some small lumps are acceptable.
  4. Prepare a griddle or non-stick pan by heating to medium temperature (around 375°F), lightly coating the surface with a thin layer of cooking lubricant.
  5. Carefully dispense the batter onto the heated surface, allowing approximately 14 cup per pancake, and observe as tiny air pockets emerge across the upper landscape.
  6. When bubbles consistently populate the pancake’s surface and edges appear slightly matte, execute a precise flip using a wide spatula.
  7. Continue cooking the reverse side for an additional 1-2 minutes until achieving a golden-bronze complexion.
  8. Transfer the completed pancakes to a warming plate, maintaining a consistent temperature to preserve their pillowy texture.
  9. Present immediately, accompanied by rich maple syrup, softened butter, fresh berries, or preferred complementary garnishes.

Notes

  • For ultra-fluffy pancakes, avoid overmixing the batter to prevent tough, dense results.
  • Separate egg whites and whip them separately, then fold gently into the batter for extra lift and airiness.
  • Let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes before cooking to allow flour to absorb liquid and create softer texture.
  • Customize by adding mix-ins like blueberries, chocolate chips, or nuts directly into the batter for varied flavor profiles.
