BEST HOMEMADE PANCAKES RECIPE EASY AND DELICIOUS

Instructions

1. Mix dry ingredients:
   • In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
2. Mix wet ingredients:
   • In another bowl, whisk milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla.
3. Combine:
   • Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined.
   • Don’t overmix — a few lumps are okay. Overmixing = tough pancakes.
4. Cook pancakes:
   • Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter.
   • Pour ¼ cup batter per pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set (~2–3 minutes).
   • Flip and cook 1–2 minutes more until golden and cooked through.
5. Serve immediately:
   • Stack pancakes, add butter, syrup, fresh fruit, chocolate chips, or whipped cream.

✨ Tips for fluffy, perfect pancakes:

• Let the batter rest 5–10 minutes before cooking; the baking powder activates for extra lift.
• Use medium heat — too hot will burn outside while leaving inside raw.
• For extra flavor, try adding:
  • Blueberries or chocolate chips straight into the batter
  • Cinnamon or nutmeg
  • A little lemon zest for brightness
