Easy Fluffy Pancakes Recipe

Published on July 1, 2021

Fluffy pancakes are a breakfast treat that can be made with just a few simple ingredients. You probably already have most of these ingredients in your kitchen.

Here are the ingredients you will need:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (or whole wheat flour)
  • 2 tablespoons of brown sugar (granulated sugar works too)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder (for light and fluffy pancakes)
  • ½ teaspoon salt (depending on your other ingredients, you can use less)
  • ¾ cup of milk (whole, reduced-fat, or skim milk work well)
  • 2 tablespoons of melted butter
  • 1 egg (for structure and fluffiness)
  • Vanilla Extract (or any other flavor you like)
  • Cooking spray

Here's how to make the pancakes:

  1. Whisk the flour and baking powder in a large bowl.
  2. Melt the butter and warm the milk.
  3. Whisk the butter, milk, and eggs together in a separate bowl.
  4. Combine the wet and dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
  5. Heat a non-stick pan on low heat and coat with cooking spray.
  6. Pour about ¼ cup-full of batter onto the pan and cook until bubbles appear on the surface.
  7. Flip and cook the other side until browned.

Here are some additional tips to make your pancake recipe the best:

  • Cook over medium heat for better results.
  • Use a non-stick pan for the best results.
  • Allow the pan to heat up before making the first batch.
  • Give the pan a gentle wipe with paper towels to remove any big blobs of oil.
  • Make sure the batter is slightly lumpy and pours easily.
  • Don't overmix the batter.
  • Wait for bubbles to form in the centre of the pancake before flipping.
