Fluffy Pancake Recipe

Pancakes for breakfast are a favorite in my house served with crispy bacon. This recipe is
similar to our “Puffy” pancakes, but a bit different since you don’t have to beat egg whites.
Pancakes are really the only thing that fill my boys up so we are always trying new delicious
ways to make them. We also have a delicious basic pancake recipe if you prefer yours not as
thick.

Important Ingredients You Will Need:

Flour – all-purpose
Baking Powder and Soda – This will add the thickness to the pancakes.
Sugar – Granulated is used in this recipe, but you can use any sweetener you prefer like
stevia, coconut sugar, or brown sugar.
Butter – we listed unsalted and then add the salt in to control the amount of salt.
Egg – only 1 egg is needed.
Milk – Whole milk, reduced-fat, or skim milk will work in this recipe. For dairy-free
pancakes, substitute non-dairy milk for almond or oat milk.
Vanilla Extract – this will add a nice flavor to the pancakes.

How To Make Fluffy Pancakes

This is the absolute best fluffy pancakes recipe and I’m excited for you to try it. They’re made
with simple ingredients that most everyone has on hand and ready in just 20 minutes.

Directions

Combine the dry ingredients in a bowl, then add wet ingredients.

Whisk until smooth.
Pour the batter on a heated pan on both sides until golden.
Serve with maple syrup, honey or fruit and enjoy!

Tips for Fluffy Pancakes

Do NOT Overmix – this is a common mistake and will result in losing the fluffiness of the
pancakes.

Cook pancakes right away: once your batter is mixed, make sure to pour the batter in the
frying pan immediately. If you let the batter sit, the baking powder will deactivate and your
pancakes won’t be as fluffy.

Freezing:

1 Let pancakes cool completely.

2 Stack 2-3 pancakes on top of each other and cover in plastic wrap.
3 Wrap again in a piece of aluminum foil.
4 Freeze for up to 3 months.
5 To thaw: unwrap the frozen pancakes and let them sit on the counter for about 5 minutes.
Pull them apart and then pop them into a toaster until hot. You can also warm them up in the
microwave.

Measuring the flour: Packing in flour is a common mistake that can cause any recipe to fail.
Spoon the flour into the measuring cups and then use a knife to scrape off the excess flour.

Ingredients 1x 2x 3x

2 cups all-purpose Flour

4 Tbsp granulated Sugar
4 tsp Baking Powder
1/4 tsp Baking Soda
1/2 tsp Salt
1 3/4 cups Milk
4 Tbsp unsalted Butter melted
2 tsp pure Vanilla Extract
1 large Egg

Instructions
1 Combine the dry ingredients in a large-sized
bowl. Make a well in the center and add the milk,
melted butter, vanilla and egg.
2 Whisk the ingredients together until smooth
(some lumps are fine). The batter will be thick. If
it's too thick for your liking, you can always add
more milk to get a smoother consistency.
3 Heat a nonstick pan or griddle over medium-low
heat coated with butter to grease the pan. Pour
¼ cup of batter onto the pan smooth out gently
into a round shape with the back of the
measuring cup.
4 When the underside looks golden and bubbles begin to appear on the top, flip with a
spatula and cook on the other side until golden. Repeat with remaining batter. Serve
with maple syrup, honey or fruit and enjoy!

I have not tried it yet but can the pancakes sit for a little while my family wakes up or does it have to be
served imediatly so it wont deflate.

Hi Sianna. You can make these pancakes ahead of time and they will hold their shape with no issues.

Great recipe fluffy but never saw any bubbles so just checked and turned wondering if I should add a
touch more milk but they tasted great

These pancakes are good and fluffy but I need to add more flour next time. I used 500g of flour and it5,670
was still pretty thin batter. It’s hard converting cups to g because a cup can contain such different
amounts of flour! I think once I get the flour down this will be my go to recipe.
