There’s nothing better than waking up to the smell of fresh, fluffy pancakes! But let’s be honest—some pancake recipes are too complicated, requiring weird ingredients or too many steps.
That’s why I’m sharing the easiest homemade pancake recipe that guarantees perfectly soft, golden, and fluffy pancakes every time—with simple ingredients you already have in your kitchen!
Whether you’re making them for a quick breakfast or a cozy weekend brunch, these pancakes are fail-proof and delicious! Let’s get started.
🛒 Ingredients (Makes 6-8 Pancakes)
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
¾ cup milk (or buttermilk for extra fluffiness!)
1 egg
2 tablespoons melted butter (or oil)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional, but recommended!)
👩🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Step 2: Add the Wet Ingredients
In another bowl, mix the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Pour this mixture into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. (Don’t overmix—lumps are okay!)
Step 3: Heat the Pan
Heat a non-stick pan or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or oil.
Step 4: Cook the Pancakes
Pour ¼ cup of batter onto the pan for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes, until bubbles form on top, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
Step 5: Serve & Enjoy!
Stack your pancakes high and serve with maple syrup, butter, fresh fruit, or whipped cream!
🔥 Pro Tips for Extra Fluffy Pancakes
✅ Use buttermilk instead of regular milk – It makes them extra soft!
✅ Let the batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking – This helps with fluffiness.
✅ Don’t press the pancakes down with a spatula – Let them cook naturally.
✅ Keep pancakes warm in a 200°F (95°C) oven while making more.
