Here’s a classic American pancake recipe—fluffy, soft, and perfect for breakfast 🥞
Classic American Pancakes
Ingredients (Makes 8–10 pancakes)
- 1½ cups all-purpose flour
- 3½ tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1¼ cups milk
- 1 large egg
- 3 tbsp melted butter (plus extra for cooking)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
- Mix dry ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. - Mix wet ingredients
In another bowl, whisk milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla. - Combine
Pour wet into dry and stir until just combined. Don’t overmix—lumps are okay. - Cook pancakes
- Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease.
- Pour about ¼ cup batter per pancake.
- Cook 2–3 minutes until bubbles form on top, edges set. Flip and cook another 1–2 minutes until golden brown.
- Serve
Stack pancakes and top with butter, maple syrup, fresh fruit, or chocolate chips.
Tips
- For extra fluffy pancakes, separate the egg, beat the white until stiff, and fold in at the end.
- Keep pancakes warm in a 90°C / 200°F oven while cooking the rest.
- Add-ins: blueberries, chocolate chips, or mashed banana.
If you want, I can give a quick 3-ingredient pancake version or a vegan/dairy-free version too.
