Description

Indulgent weekend mornings welcome classic pancake magic with this irresistible Fluffy Pancake recipe. Light and cloud-like batter creates golden breakfast perfection you’ll savor with pure morning joy.


Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 cups (375 ml) all-purpose flour
  • 1 egg
  • 1 1/4 cups (310 ml) milk
  • 3 tablespoons (45 ml) melted butter

Leavening Agents:

  • 3 1/2 teaspoons (17.5 ml) baking powder

Seasonings and Sweeteners:

  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml) sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon (1.25 ml) salt

Instructions

  1. Blend dry ingredients in a spacious mixing vessel, creating a uniform powder base of flour, leavening agent, sweetener, and seasoning.
  2. Whisk liquid components in a separate container, ensuring smooth integration of dairy, protein-rich embryo, liquefied dairy fat, and aromatic essence.
  3. Gently incorporate wet mixture into dry ingredients, folding with minimal agitation to maintain a tender texture and prevent gluten development.
  4. Prepare a non-stick culinary surface over moderate thermal intensity, applying a delicate lubricating layer to prevent adhesion.
  5. Distribute batter in precise circular portions, allowing approximately a quarter-cup per golden disc.
  6. Monitor pancake’s surface for emerging bubble formations, indicating optimal moment for gentle transformation.
  7. Execute a careful spatial inversion, revealing a golden-hued landscape and completing secondary thermal exposure.
  8. Transfer to serving plateau, adorning with complementary embellishments like maple nectar, creamy dairy spread, or personalized garnishes.

Notes

  • Achieve ultimate fluffiness by not overmixing the batter, which keeps the gluten development minimal and ensures tender pancakes.
  • Substitute dairy milk with almond, oat, or soy milk for a vegan-friendly version that maintains the same light, airy texture.
  • Let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes before cooking to allow the flour to absorb liquid and create more tender, pillowy pancakes.
  • Test skillet temperature by dropping a small amount of water – if it sizzles and dances, the pan is perfectly heated for golden, evenly cooked pancakes.
