Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp (25g) granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1½ cups (360ml) milk (whole or 2% for best richness)
  • 1 tbsp (15g) melted butter (plus extra for cooking)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

(Optional add-ins: blueberries, chocolate chips, cinnamon, or lemon zest)

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Mix Dry Ingredients

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

2. Combine Wet Ingredients

  1. In another bowl, beat the eggs, then add milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
  2. Whisk until fully combined.

3. Make the Batter

  1. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients.
  2. Gently stir until just combined (a few small lumps are okay—overmixing makes pancakes tough).

4. Cook the Pancakes

  1. Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium-low heat.
  2. Lightly grease with butter or oil.
  3. Pour ¼ cup batter per pancake onto the skillet.
  4. Cook until bubbles form on the surface (about 2-3 minutes), then flip.
  5. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.

5. Serve Warm

  • Stack high and top with maple syrup, fresh fruit, or whipped cream.

Tips for Perfect Pancakes

✔ Don’t overmix – Lumpy batter = fluffier pancakes.
✔ Medium-low heat – Prevents burning while ensuring even cooking.
✔ Keep pancakes warm – Place in a 200°F (95°C) oven while cooking the rest.
✔ Make ahead – Refrigerate batter for up to 24 hours (stir before using).

Variations

🍫 Chocolate Chip Pancakes – Fold in ½ cup chocolate chips.
🍓 Berry Pancakes – Add ½ cup blueberries or diced strawberries.
🍌 Banana Pancakes – Mash 1 ripe banana into the batter.
🌾 Whole Wheat Option – Substitute 1 cup whole wheat flour for half the all-purpose flour.
