Description

These fluffy pancakes are light, airy, and golden—perfect for a comforting breakfast or brunch. Made with simple pantry staples, they come together quickly and deliver a delightful texture that pairs beautifully with your favorite toppings.


Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 ¼ cups milk (any type)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar until well combined.
  2. Slowly pour in the milk, stirring gently until a smooth batter forms. Do not overmix.
  3. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil.
  4. Using a ¼ cup measure, pour batter onto the skillet for each pancake.
  5. Cook for 2–3 minutes, until bubbles form on the surface and the edges start to look set.
  6. Flip the pancakes and cook for another 1–2 minutes, until golden brown.
  7. Stack the pancakes and serve them warm with your favorite toppings.

Notes

  • Letting the batter rest for about 5 minutes before cooking helps make fluffier pancakes.
  • You can refrigerate the batter for up to 24 hours if needed.
  • To store, cool pancakes completely and refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
  • Freeze cooled pancakes in a single layer, then transfer to a freezer bag for up to 2 months.
  • Reheat in a toaster or warm in a skillet over medium heat until heated through.
