Perfect Fluffy Pancakes
Ingredients:
2 cups all purpose flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 - 2 cups milk
1/3 cup white granulated sugar
1/4 cup butter, melted & slightly cooled
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 large egg
Preparation:
Mix the flour, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.
In a separate bowl, whisk 1 1/2 cups milk, sugar, melted butter, vanilla and egg.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and mix together gently. Don’t over-mix the batter! If you mix it too much you’ll develop the gluten and end up with a tougher pancake. Pancake batter should be a little lumpy!
Allow the batter to rest for 10-15 minutes so the wet ingredients can absorb the flour. Start preparing your pan or griddle. If the batter is too thick, add in the remaining 1/2 cup of milk.
Heat a nonstick pan or griddle over medium-low heat. Add butter to the pan and wipe out any excess, too much butter will burn your pancake!
Pour 1/4-1/2 cup of batter onto the pan depending on how big you like your pancakes! (I usually go for a 1/2 cup!) If you like an even thicker pancake, once the bottom has set, add a little more batter to the middle.
When the surface of the pancake has bubbles, flip it. Only flip the pancake once and don’t press the top with your spatula! Cook until golden and cooked through. Repeat with remaining batter.
Serve with butter & maple syrup or topping of choice!
Enjoy!
