Fluffy Pancake Magic (Print-Friendly Version)
Airy, golden-brown pancakes that'll make your morning special!
# Ingredients List:
01 -
2 teaspoons vanilla (pure extract is best)
02 -
1 large egg
03 -
1/4 cup melted butter
04 -
1 3/4 cups milk
05 -
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
06 -
4 teaspoons baking powder
07 -
1/4 cup regular sugar or alternative sweetener
08 -
1/2 teaspoon salt
09 -
2 cups plain or all-purpose flour
# Detailed Cooking Steps:
01 -
In a big bowl, toss together the flour, sweetener, salt, baking soda, and baking powder until evenly mixed.
02 -
Pour milk, vanilla, beaten egg, and melted butter into the flour mix. Stir the liquid ingredients in the middle before slowly blending everything together. You’re aiming for a thick, smooth batter—add tiny splashes of milk if it feels too heavy.
03 -
Leave the batter to rest for a few minutes while you warm up your nonstick pan or griddle.
04 -
On medium-low heat, grease the pan lightly with butter. Drop 1/4 cup of batter onto the heated pan, spreading it gently into a circle. Let it cook until bubbles form on top, then flip to brown the other side. Keep going with your remaining batter.
05 -
Top with your favorite spreads like syrup, fruit, ice cream, or even yogurt—or enjoy plain if you’d prefer.
# Helpful Hints:
01 -
To make them fluffier, a pinch of baking soda does the trick. If you're sensitive to it or using self-raising flour, skip the soda and use less baking powder (1 teaspoon per cup of flour).
02 -
Measure pancake portions easily using a 1/4 or 1/3 cup for extra consistency across the batch.
03 -
If you're in Australia, swap plain flour with self-raising flour if needed. It works just fine!
