Servings: 8–10 pancakes
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 25 minutes

⭐ Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

1 ½ cups (190g) all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

1 cup (240 ml) milk (or buttermilk for extra fluffiness)
2 tablespoons melted butter (or oil)
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Optional Add-ins

Chocolate chips
Blueberries
Cinnamon

🧁 Why These Pancakes Are So Fluffy

Because of:
✔ Baking powder + baking soda combination
✔ Thick batter (never runny)
✔ Minimal mixing — keeps air bubbles inside
✔ Hot pan + gentle cooking

👩‍🍳 Instructions (Step-by-Step)

1. Mix Dry Ingredients

In a bowl, whisk together:

flour
sugar
baking powder
baking soda
salt

Make sure everything is well combined.

2. Mix Wet Ingredients

In another bowl:

whisk egg
add milk
add melted butter
add vanilla

Mix until smooth.

3. Combine (GENTLY!)

Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture.
Use a spatula, not a whisk.

👉 Mix only until combined — lumps are OK!
Overmixing makes pancakes flat.

The batter should be thick, not runny.

4. Rest Batter (Important!)

Let the batter sit for 5 minutes.
This activates the baking powder and creates air pockets.

5. Cook Pancakes

Heat a non-stick pan or griddle on medium-low.
Lightly grease with butter or spray oil.
Add ¼ cup batter for each pancake.
Cook until bubbles appear on top and edges look set (about 2–3 minutes).
Flip and cook another 1–2 minutes.

➡️ Don’t press them down! They need air inside.

🍯 Serve With

Maple syrup
Honey
Nutella
Fresh fruit
Whipped cream

🌟 Pro Tips for ULTRA-Fluffy Pancakes

Use buttermilk instead of milk for cloud-like texture.
Don’t overmix — thick batter = fluffy pancakes.
Cook on medium-low heat to avoid burning.
Rest the batter for more fluffiness.
Use a ladle or scoop for even sizes.

💡 Optional Upgrade: Buttermilk Version

If using buttermilk, skip the baking soda and use:

2 ½ teaspoons baking powder instead.

Your pancakes will be EVEN fluffier!
