These pancakes are very flexible. You might savor them as-is or get creative with additions such fresh fruit, syrup, whipped cream, or even chocolate chips. This recipe is the ideal basis for all your pancake creations, regardless of your taste in classic style or want to vary.
Ingredients You’ll Need:
Easy pancakes call for the following ingredients:
- One half cup all-purpose flour
- 3 ½ teaspoon baking powder
- One tablespoon sugar; half teaspoon salt
- ¼ cups milk (you could use non-dairy substitute or whole milk).
- One big egg
- Three tablespoons melted butter—or vegetable oil.
- One optional teaspoon of vanilla essence
- extra oil or butter for cooking
Step-by-Step directions
- Combine the dry ingredients: Whisk in a big bowl the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Before adding the liquid ingredients, thoroughly mix these dry components. This guarantees consistent pancake rise.
2. Add the Wet Ingredients: In a separate dish, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract—if using. The melted butter gives the batter richness; the milk helps to produce the ideal pancake texture.
3. Mix the Batter: Pour the wet components into the dry ones then gently whisk until just blended. If the mixture is somewhat lumpy, that’s good; overmixing can produce dense pancakes, hence be careful not to overdo it. The batter needs to be pourable but thick. To get your preferred consistency, add a small bit more milk if it appears overly thick.
4. Preheat the Pan or Griddle: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly coat the surface with a small bit of butter or oil. Though not smoking, you want the pan to be hot. Drop a tiny bit of water on the pan to see whether it is ready; if it sizzles, it is time to make your pancakes.
5. Cook the Pancakes: For every pancake, toss roughly ¼ cup of batter onto the hot griddle. Using a spoon or a measuring cup’s rear, spread the batter in a circle. Cook until bubbles start to show on the pancake’s surface; then, spatula-based flip over the pancake. Your heat level will determine how long this takes on each side—two to three minutes.
Remove the pancakes from the skillet and set them on a platter after both sides are golden brown. If you are creating a bigger quantity, you can keep them warm in the low-heat oven setting.
6. Serve and Enjoy: Present and enjoy the pancakes on a platter topped with your preferred extras. Excellent choices are fresh fruit, maple syrup, whipped cream, or powdered sugar dusting. For even more taste, top every pancake with a pat of butter.
Tips for Perfect Pancakes: Stir the wet and dry ingredients together only until they are blended; do not overmix the batter. Lumps in batter are okay. Tough pancakes and activating the gluten in the flour will come from overmixing.
Temperature counts. Making your pancakes fluffy requires careful temperature control in cooking. Too high; they will stay raw inside while burning on the exterior. Too low will make them flat and dry.
Change the flavor to suit you. To boost taste, toss the batter with cinnamon, blueberries, or chocolate chips. There are really countless opportunities!
If you are making several pancakes, keep them warm by laying them on a baking sheet in an oven set at 200°F (90°C) while you finish cooking the others.

In no time you can create a great breakfast with this simple pancake recipe. These pancakes will please you whether your weekend treat or a quick weekday breakfast.
