How to Make Fluffy Pancakes

Few breakfasts are as comforting as a stack of fluffy pancakes. These golden, soft pancakes are easy to make at home and perfect for a weekend brunch or a cozy morning treat. With simple ingredients and a few easy steps, you can create a breakfast everyone will love.

Ingredients

• 1 egg
  
• 50 g sugar (about 1/4 cup)
  
• 5 g oil (1/2 tbsp)
  
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
  
• 100 g flour (about 3/4 cup)
  
• 5 g baking powder (1/2 tbsp)
  
• A pinch of salt
  
• 125 ml milk (1/2 cup)
  

Instructions

1. Prepare the Wet Ingredients

In a bowl, whisk together the egg, sugar, oil, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and creamy. This will form the base of your pancake batter.

2. Combine the Dry Ingredients

In another bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, and salt. Sifting the flour helps to make the pancakes extra light.

3. Make the Batter

Slowly add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Pour in the milk and gently fold the batter until everything is just combined. Some lumps are okay — overmixing can make pancakes dense instead of fluffy.

4. Cook the Pancakes

Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Pour a small scoop of batter onto the pan for each pancake. Wait until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook the other side until golden brown. Repeat with the remaining batter.

5. Serve and Enjoy

Stack the pancakes on a plate and add your favorite toppings — syrup, fruits, chocolate, or nuts. Serve immediately for warm, fluffy pancakes that melt in your mouth.

Extra Tips for Perfect Pancakes

• Avoid overmixing: Gently fold the ingredients to keep the batter airy.
  
• Medium heat: Cooking too fast can burn the pancakes before they’re cooked inside.
  
• Optional step for extra fluffiness: Whip the egg white separately until stiff peaks form, then fold into the batter for a lighter texture.
