Fluffy American pancakes

Here’s a classic Fluffy American Pancakes recipe 🥞
Soft inside, lightly golden outside, and easy to make.

Ingredients (serves 2–3)

• 1½ cups all-purpose flour

• 2 tbsp sugar

• 1 tbsp baking powder

• ½ tsp salt

• 1¼ cups milk

• 1 large egg

• 3 tbsp melted butter or oil

• 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

1. Mix dry ingredients: In a bowl, whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

2. Mix wet ingredients: In another bowl, whisk milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla.

3. Combine: Pour wet ingredients into dry. Gently mix just until combined.
   Small lumps are okay — don’t overmix.

4. Rest batter: Let sit 5–10 minutes for extra fluffiness.

5. Cook: Heat a non-stick pan or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease.

6. Pour about ¼ cup batter per pancake.

7. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set, then flip.

8. Cook another 1–2 minutes until golden.

Serve With

• Butter and maple syrup
