Ingredients of Fluffy Pancake Recipe



  • 2 cups all-purpose | plain flour

  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar or sweetener

  • 4 teaspoons baking powder

  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • 1 1/2 cups milk (plus up to 1/4 cup extra if needed)

  • 1/4 cup butter, melted

  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

  • 1 large egg


INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Combine together the flour, sugar (or sweetener), baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large-sized bowl. Make a well in the center and add the milk, slightly cooled melted butter, vanilla, and egg.

  2. Use a wire whisk to whisk the wet ingredients together first before slowly folding them into the dry ingredients. Mix together until smooth (there maybe a couple of lumps but that's okay).
    (The batter will be thick and creamy inconsistency. If you find the batter too thick -- doesn't pour off the ladle or out of the measuring cup smoothly -- fold a couple of tablespoons of extra milk into the batter at a time until reaching desired consistency).

  3. Set the batter aside and allow to rest while heating up your pan or griddle.

  4. Heat a nonstick pan or griddle over low-medium heat and wipe over with a little butter to lightly grease pan. Pour ¼ cup of batter onto the pan and spread out gently into a round shape with the back of your ladle or measuring cup.

  5. When the underside is golden and bubbles begin to appear on the surface, flip with a spatula and cook until golden. Repeat with the remaining batter.

  6. Serve with honey, maple syrup, fruit, ice cream or frozen yogurt, or enjoy plain!
