There’s nothing quite like waking up to the aroma of freshly made pancakes. But not just any pancakes—Fluffy Pancakes. These thick, soft, and golden beauties are the ultimate comfort food for breakfast lovers.

Fluffy PancakesSAVE THIS!

Whether you’re preparing a weekend brunch or a weekday treat, this recipe guarantees a stack of irresistible pancakes that will have everyone asking for seconds.

In this article, we’ll walk you through an easy, foolproof recipe for fluffy pancakes that takes just 5 minutes to prepare. With simple ingredients you likely already have in your kitchen, you can whip up a breakfast masterpiece in no time. Let’s dive in!

Why You’ll Love These Fluffy Pancakes

  1. Perfectly Thick and Soft: These pancakes rise beautifully thanks to the combination of baking powder and baking soda, giving them that signature fluffy texture.
  2. Quick and Easy: With just a handful of pantry staples and minimal prep time, you can have a delicious breakfast on the table in under 30 minutes.
  3. Versatile: Serve them with maple syrup, fresh fruit, whipped cream, or even a sprinkle of powdered sugar—these pancakes are the perfect canvas for your favorite toppings.

Ingredients You’ll Need

To make these fluffy pancakes, gather the following ingredients:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour: The foundation for thick and fluffy pancakes.
  • 4 Tbsp granulated sugar: Adds just the right amount of sweetness.
  • 4 tsp baking powder: The key to making these pancakes rise to perfection.
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda: Enhances the fluffiness when combined with baking powder.
  • 1/2 tsp salt: Balances the sweetness and enhances flavor.
  • 1 3/4 cups milk: Adds moisture for a smooth batter.
  • 4 Tbsp unsalted butter (melted): Provides richness and flavor.
  • 2 tsp pure vanilla extract: Adds a warm, aromatic touch.
  • 1 large egg: Helps bind the ingredients together and contributes to the fluffy texture.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Follow these simple steps to create the fluffiest pancakes ever:

1. Mix Dry Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir well to ensure even distribution of the leavening agents.

2. Add Wet Ingredients

Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the milk, melted butter, vanilla extract, and egg. Whisk everything together until smooth. It’s okay if the batter has a few small lumps—overmixing can make the pancakes dense. If the batter feels too thick, add a splash of milk to reach your desired consistency.

3. Heat Your Pan or Griddle

Preheat a nonstick pan or griddle over medium-low heat. Lightly grease it with butter to prevent sticking and add a touch of flavor.

4. Cook Your Pancakes

Using a ¼ cup measuring cup, pour batter onto the pan and gently spread it into a round shape with the back of the cup. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the underside turns golden brown (about 2–3 minutes). Flip with a spatula and cook for another 1–2 minutes until the other side is golden.

5. Serve and Enjoy

Stack your fluffy pancakes on a plate and serve immediately with your favorite toppings. Popular choices include maple syrup, honey, fresh berries, or a dollop of whipped cream.

Tips for Pancake Perfection

  • Don’t Overmix: A few lumps in your batter are perfectly fine! Overmixing can lead to tough pancakes instead of light and airy ones.
  • Use Medium-Low Heat: Cooking pancakes over high heat can cause them to burn on the outside while remaining raw on the inside. Medium-low heat ensures even cooking.
  • Grease Between Batches: Add a small amount of butter or oil to the pan between batches to maintain that golden-brown finish.

Plus, there’s something deeply satisfying about making breakfast with your own two hands!

Instructions

  • Combine the dry ingredients in a large-sized bowl. Make a well in the center and add the milk, melted butter, vanilla, and egg.
