Who can resist a stack of warm, fluffy pancakes? Whether you're enjoying them for breakfast, brunch, or a cozy dinner, pancakes are a universally loved treat.
Their golden-brown surface and soft, airy texture make them the perfect canvas for endless toppings — from classic maple syrup and butter to fresh berries and whipped cream.
In this recipe, Lykkers, you'll learn how to make delicious pancakes from scratch that are sure to impress everyone at the table!
Ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Butter or oil, for cooking
Directions:
Combine Dry Ingredients
In a spacious bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir well to make sure all the dry ingredients are thoroughly blended for an even batter consistency.
Blend Wet Ingredients
In another bowl, beat the egg until smooth. Add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract, stirring until all the ingredients are well incorporated and form a smooth mixture.
Mix the Batter
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, gently stirring until just combined. It’s okay if the batter has a few small lumps — overmixing can result in dense pancakes.
Preheat the Pan
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with butter or oil. To test if the pan is hot enough, sprinkle a few drops of water onto it. If they sizzle, the pan is ready for the batter.
Cook the Pancakes
Pour about ¼ cup of batter onto the hot pan for each pancake. Let it cook until small bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip the pancake and cook for another 1-2 minutes on the other side until golden brown.
Serve Hot
Remove the pancakes from the pan and serve immediately. Top with your favorite ingredients like maple syrup, fresh berries, or a pat of butter, and enjoy them while they're still warm and fluffy.
