Description

Breakfast dreams come alive with classic Fluffy Pancake magic, whisking together simple ingredients for a morning masterpiece. Golden stacks of comfort await, promising delightful bites that bring pure breakfast joy to your plate.


Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients (Dry):

  • 1 1/2 cups (190 grams) all-purpose flour
  • 3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon sugar

Wet Ingredients:

  • 1 1/4 cups (300 milliliters) milk
  • 1 egg
  • 3 tablespoons (45 milliliters) melted butter

Instructions

  1. Sift the dry ingredients together in a spacious mixing vessel, ensuring a uniform blend of flour, leavening agent, sweetener, and seasoning.
  2. Whisk the liquid components in a separate container, incorporating dairy, beaten egg, liquefied butter, and aromatic extract until smooth and homogeneous.
  3. Gently fold the liquid mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring with minimal manipulation to prevent gluten development and maintain a tender texture.
  4. Prepare a non-stick skillet or griddle, warming it to medium temperature (approximately 375°F) and lightly coating with cooking spray or butter.
  5. Using a measuring scoop, deposit batter onto the heated surface, allowing each pancake approximately 3-4 inches in diameter.
  6. Monitor the cooking surface, waiting for tiny bubbles to emerge and pop across the pancake’s surface, indicating the ideal moment for flipping.
  7. Execute a precise turn, cooking the reverse side until achieving a golden-brown complexion and ensuring complete internal cooking.
  8. Transfer the finished pancakes to a warming plate, maintaining temperature and preventing moisture accumulation.
  9. Present immediately, accompanied by warm maple syrup, fresh berries, whipped cream, or preferred complementary garnishes.

Notes

  • Ensure ingredients are at room temperature for smooth mixing and even incorporation.
  • Avoid overmixing the batter; lumps are okay and help create fluffy, tender pancakes.
  • Use a non-stick skillet or griddle with low to medium heat to prevent burning and achieve golden-brown color.
  • Customize by adding blueberries, chocolate chips, or nuts directly into the batter for extra flavor and texture.
