Basic Pancake Recipe: How to Make Fluffy and Delicious Pancakes at Home

 

  Pancakes are a popular breakfast dish made from a simple batter of flour, eggs, milk, and  baking powder. They can be cooked on a griddle or pan and are often served with syrup and  butter. Pancakes can also be made in various flavors such as blueberry, banana, chocolate chip, and  more. The recipe can be adjusted to make pancakes gluten-free, dairy-free, or vegan. They are  very popular in many countries and have different name such as hotcakes, flapjacks and more.

  Ingredients:

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup milk
• 1 egg
• 2 tablespoons butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

  Instructions:

1. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
2. In another mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract (if using).
3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined (small lumps in the batter are okay).
4. Heat a non-stick pan or griddle over medium-high heat. Once hot, ladle about 1/4 cup of the batter onto the pan or griddle for each pancake.
5. Cook until bubbles form on the surface of the pancake and the edges begin to look set, about 2-3 minutes.
6. Flip the pancake and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes on the other side.
7. Serve with syrup, butter, and your desired toppings.

Enjoy your pancakes!
