Print Recipe

Soft, fluffy homemade pancakes made from simple pantry ingredients. Perfect for slow weekend mornings and serving with butter and homemade pancake syrup.

Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar

  • 1 tablespoon baking powder

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • 1 ¼ cups milk

  • 2 large eggs

  • 3 tablespoons melted butter

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.

  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix. A few small lumps are fine.

  4. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes to help create fluffier pancakes.

  5. Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter.

  6. Pour about ¼ cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake.

  7. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges begin to set (about 2–3 minutes). Flip and cook another 1–2 minutes until golden brown.

  8. Serve warm with butter and homemade pancake syrup.

Equipment

Notes

  • Do not press down on pancakes while cooking.

  • If pancakes brown too quickly, reduce heat slightly.

  • For extra fluffy pancakes, allow the batter to rest for the full 5 minutes.
