how to make the best fluffy pancakes
It all starts with the batter. Too thick and they will be gluggy and undercooked on the inside. Too runny, and the pancakes will spread out and won’t fluff up. I like to test the batter with my spoon or ladle, lifting it gently above the rim of the bowl. It has to be thick BUT able to run slowly and nicely off of the spoon. A couple of lumps is okay, but I do like to smooth out my batter as much as I can gently with a wire whisk.
INGREDIENTS TO MAKE PANCAKES
- 1 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, plus more for cooking
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Powdered sugar or maple syrup, for serving
- Vanilla extract.
INSTRUCTIONS TO MAKE PANCAKES
1.Combine the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a large bowl.
2.In a large measuring cup, combine the egg, milk, butter and vanilla extract.
3.Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and gently fold them together until well combined, but still a little lumpy.
4.You don’t want to over mix them or they could end up less fluffy and tough. The batter should be relatively thick, but easily pourable.
5.Set the batter aside to rest while you heat the griddle, 5-10 minutes. Any remaining lumps with start to soften as the moisture soaks in. Gently stir again.

6. Heat a griddle or non-stick pan over medium-low heat and melt a little butter to grease it. Pour batter onto the pan and let it spread out into a round pancake. I used about 3 tablespoons of batter per pancake.
7.Allow to cook until bubbles appear on the surface and the edges are set, then flip and cook until golden.
8.Continue cooking with the remaining batter.
9. Serve pancakes with maple syrup or your choice of toppings
TIPS FOR THE PERFECT HOMEMADE PANCAKES:
– Be sure not to over mix your pancake batter so that you don’t get tough, dense pancakes. Lumps are ok.
– For a nice looking pancake, cook on a flat surface. A griddle is preferable.
– Don’t make your pancakes too large, or they’ll be difficult to flip.
– Your pancakes are ready to be flipped when you see plenty of bubbles coming through the surface and the edges are set.
– Mix ins make these even more fun – from sprinkles to fresh fruit!
