Easy Fluffy Pancakes
This is the easiest, fluffiest pancake recipe and without a doubt, my family’s favorite. These perfect pancakes come together with pantry staples you probably already have in your kitchen.
Tips For Perfect Pancakes:
- Preheat your nonstick pan or griddle on medium-high heat. Do not grease the pan with butter or oil! This will give it the characteristic brown base.
- Use a 1/4 cup-sized measuring cup to pour your batter. This way you will get perfect, evenly sized pancakes. Start pouring from the middle, then continue pouring slowly in a circular motion so that the batter spreads into perfect round shapes.
- Allow the pancakes to cook. Do not flip them too early. When bubbles start forming on top, they are ready to flip.
- To flip perfectly, use a spatula and slide it completely underneath the pancake. Use your wrist to gently flip them instead of using your whole arm.

Ingredients
- 1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tablespoon baking powder
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoons oil
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup buttermilk (take 1 cup warm milk+ 1 tablespoon vinegar. Mix and leave for 1 minute. It will curdle. Mix & use)
- 1/4 cup milk (used if batter is too thick)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, SIFT the dry ingredients – all purpose flour, baking powder, salt & sugar. Using a whisk, mix the dry ingredients well.
- In another bowl, mix together the wet ingredients – egg, oil, vanilla extract & buttermilk.
- Add the wet to the dry and mix using a whisk. Do not overmix. A few lumps are perfectly fine. The batter will be thick.
- If you find the batter is too thick, add milk a few tablespoons at a time.
- Set a nonstick pan/girdle on medium-high heat.
- Once it is hot, slowly add about 1/4 cup batter. Start pouring from the middle, then continue pouring outwards slowly in a circular motion so that the batter spreads into perfect round shapes.
- Cook until you see multiple bubbles appear on the surface of the batter.
- Using a spatula, slide it under the pancakes and flip it.
- Let the other side cook for about 2-3 minutes and then remove.
- Continue until all the batter is used.
- Serve with your favorite topping – honey, maple syrup, nutella, berry fruits, fruit compote, etc.
