Description

Light, fluffy pancakes with a golden finish, dusted with powdered sugar-perfect for a cozy breakfast or weekend family brunch treat!


Ingredients

Scale

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon granulated sugar

1 1/4 cups milk

1 large egg

3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)


Instructions

  1. Mix the Dry Ingredients:
    • In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
    • Make a well in the center and set aside.
  2. Combine the Wet Ingredients:
    • In a separate bowl, whisk together milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
    • Pour wet ingredients into the well of the dry ingredients.
  3. Prepare the Batter:
    • Stir gently until just combined. A few lumps are fine. Rest the batter for 5–10 minutes.
  4. Cook the Pancakes:
    • Preheat a skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or cooking spray.
    • Pour 1/4 cup batter for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form and edges set, about 2–3 minutes. Flip and cook 1–2 minutes more.

Notes

  • For extra fluffiness, let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes before cooking.
  • Use a non-stick pan and cook over medium heat to achieve evenly golden pancakes.
