- 1 cup milk 🥛
- 1 large egg 🥚

Instructions:
- In a large bowl, mix the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. 👩🍳
- In another bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and melted butter. 🥄
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. The batter may be a bit lumpy—this is okay! 👌
- Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with cooking spray or butter. 🔥
- Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. 🍽️

How to serve Fluffy Pancakes
Serve your fluffy pancakes warm with a drizzle of maple syrup, a pat of butter, or topped with fresh fruits like strawberries, blueberries, or bananas. 🍓🍌🥭 You can also add whipped cream for an extra tasty treat!
How to store Fluffy Pancakes
If you have leftover pancakes, let them cool completely, then stack them with parchment paper in between. Place them in an airtight container and store them in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For longer storage, you can freeze them. Just separate them with parchment paper in a freezer bag, and they can last up to 2 months! 🥶
Tips for preparing Fluffy Pancakes
- Don’t overmix the batter! A few lumps are normal and will make your pancakes fluffier.

- Experiment with adding chocolate chips, nuts, or spices like cinnamon for added flavor! 🍫🌰
Variations

FAQs
1. Can I make batter ahead of time?
Yes! You can prepare the batter and store it in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Just give it a quick stir before using.
2. Can I use whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour?
Absolutely! Whole wheat flour will give your pancakes a nice nutty flavor, but the texture may be denser.
3. What should I do if the pancakes are too thick?
If your pancake batter is too thick, simply add a splash more milk to thin it out to your desired consistency.
