Fluffy Homemade Pancakes

Enjoy a stack of soft, fluffy homemade pancakes that are perfect for breakfast or a quick snack. Made with simple pantry ingredients, this easy pancake recipe delivers a light, airy texture and rich flavor that both kids and adults will love.

Ingredients

For the Pancake Batter

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1½ cups milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter

For Cooking

  • 1 tablespoon butter or oil for greasing the pan

Instructions

Step 1: Make the Batter

  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and slightly frothy.
  2. Pour in the milk and melted butter, then whisk again until everything is well combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently just until a smooth batter forms.
    • Do not overmix; a few small lumps are fine and will help keep the pancakes tender and fluffy.

Step 2: Cook the Pancakes

  1. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with butter or oil.
  2. Pour a ladleful of batter onto the hot pan, letting it spread naturally into a circle.
  3. Cook for about 2–3 minutes, until small bubbles form on the surface and the edges begin to look set.
  4. Carefully flip the pancake and cook for another 2 minutes, or until the underside is golden brown and the center is cooked through.

Step 3: Serve and Enjoy

  1. Transfer each cooked pancake to a plate and keep warm while you finish the remaining batter.
  2. Serve the pancakes hot with your favorite toppings, such as:
    • Maple syrup or honey
    • Fresh fruit or berries
    • A pat of butter
    • Whipped cream or yogurt

These fluffy homemade pancakes are best served warm, straight from the pan. Whether you’re making a cozy weekend breakfast or a quick afternoon treat, this simple pancake recipe is sure to become a family favorite.
