How to prepare Fluffy Pancakes
Making fluffy pancakes is simple and fun! Follow these easy steps to serve up a batch of warm, delicious pancakes.
Ingredients:
- 🥣 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 🥄 3 teaspoons baking powder
- 🧂 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 🍬 2 1/2 tablespoons sugar
- 🥛 1 1/4 cups fresh milk (any type)
- 🥚 1 large egg
- 🧈 3 tablespoons melted butter
Instructions:
- In a large bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. 🥣
- In another bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and melted butter until well combined. 🥛🥚🧈
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined; it’s okay if there are a few lumps. This keeps the pancakes fluffy!
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease it with a bit of butter or oil. 🍳
- Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes.
- Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes, until golden brown.
- Repeat with the remaining batter. 🍽️
How to serve Fluffy Pancakes
Serve your fluffy pancakes warm off the griddle! Top them with maple syrup, fresh strawberries, bananas, blueberries, or a dollop of whipped cream for added flair. You can also sprinkle some nuts or chocolate chips for an extra treat!
How to store Fluffy Pancakes
If you have leftovers, let them cool and then store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. You can also freeze them! Just place parchment paper between the pancakes, then wrap them tightly in foil and store in a freezer bag for up to a month. ❄️
Tips for preparing Fluffy Pancakes
- Don’t overmix the batter; a few lumps are okay to keep the pancakes light and fluffy.
- Ensure your griddle is hot enough before pouring the batter, but not too hot that it burns.
- For extra flavor, add a pinch of cinnamon or vanilla extract to the batter.
Variations
Get creative with your pancakes! Add mix-ins like chocolate chips, blueberries, or diced apples into the batter before cooking. You can also experiment with flavored syrups or toppings to change things up!
