Fluffy Pancakes

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined

  2. 2

    In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then add milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth

  3. 3

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir with a wooden spoon or spatula until just combined. The batter should be slightly lumpy - do not overmix

  4. 4

    Let the batter rest for 5 minutes while heating a griddle or non-stick pan over medium heat

  5. 5

    Melt a small amount of butter on the griddle, spreading it evenly

  6. 6

    Pour 1/4 cup (60ml) of batter for each pancake onto the hot griddle, leaving space between pancakes

  7. 7

    Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes

  8. 8

    Flip carefully with a spatula and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown on both sides

  9. 9

    Transfer to a warm plate and repeat with remaining batter, adding more butter to the griddle as needed

  10. 10

    Serve immediately while hot with your favorite toppings like maple syrup, fresh berries, or whipped cream...

Chef's Note

"These pancakes are my go-to weekend breakfast - perfectly fluffy every time with a golden exterior that begs for maple syrup. The secret is letting the batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking, which guarantees those light, airy stacks your family will love."
