Description

Fluffy Pancakes are soft, thick, and golden breakfast favorites with a light, airy texture. Easy to make in one bowl, they’re perfect for stacking and topping with syrup, fruit, or chocolate chips for a cozy and delicious morning meal.


Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 cups buttermilk (or 2 cups milk + 2 tablespoons vinegar/lemon juice)
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Neutral oil or butter (for cooking)

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar.
  • In another bowl, beat the eggs, then add buttermilk, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. The batter will be slightly lumpy.
  • Let the batter rest for 5–10 minutes.
  • Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with oil or butter.
  • Pour 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the skillet.
  • Cook for 2–3 minutes, until bubbles form on top and edges start to set.
  • Flip and cook for another 1–2 minutes until golden and cooked through.
  • Transfer to a plate and repeat with remaining batter.
  • Serve warm with your favorite toppings.

Notes

Add blueberries, chocolate chips, or sliced bananas to the batter for variety.Use half whole wheat flour for a healthier option.Let the batter rest before cooking for fluffier pancakes.Use a preheated nonstick griddle for even cooking and golden color.To keep pancakes warm, place on a baking sheet in a 200°F oven while you cook the rest.
