Start your morning right with this classic pancake recipe — light, fluffy, and irresistibly golden. These pancakes rise beautifully and soak up syrup like a dream, making them a family favorite for weekend breakfasts or cozy brunches. With simple pantry ingredients and a few quick steps, you’ll have a stack of soft, melt-in-your-mouth pancakes that taste even better than a diner’s. Pair them with butter, maple syrup, or fresh fruit for the perfect start to your day.

Ingredients

• 1 ½ cups (190g) all-purpose flour
• 3 ½ teaspoons baking powder
• 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• 1 ¼ cups (300ml) milk
• 1 large egg
• 3 tablespoons melted butter (plus extra for cooking)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Directions

1. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla until smooth.
3. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently until combined. The batter should be slightly lumpy — don’t overmix.
4. Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly butter the surface.
5. Pour about ¼ cup of batter per pancake. Cook until bubbles appear on the surface and edges look set, about 2–3 minutes.
6. Flip carefully and cook for another 1–2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
7. Stack on a warm plate and serve with butter, syrup, berries, or your favorite toppings.
