Description

Irresistible “fluffy pancakes” invite breakfast lovers into a morning symphony of delicate, cloud-like goodness. Light golden rounds promise pure comfort, delivering happiness with each tender, buttery bite you’ll savor.


Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 3/4 cups milk (or as needed)

Leavening Agents:

  • 4 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

Flavor Enhancers and Others:

  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter (or vegetable oil)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Combine all dry ingredients in a spacious mixing vessel, ensuring thorough blending of flour, sugar, leavening agents, and salt.
  2. In a separate container, vigorously whisk liquid components including milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smoothly integrated.
  3. Gently merge wet and dry mixtures, stirring minimally to maintain a slightly textured consistency. Avoid overmixing to preserve the batter’s delicate structure.
  4. Prepare cooking surface by heating a griddle or non-stick pan over medium temperature, lightly coating with a thin layer of butter or cooking oil.
  5. Carefully ladle portioned batter onto the heated surface, allowing approximately ¼ cup per pancake to ensure uniform size and cooking.
  6. Monitor pancake’s surface for emerging bubbles, which signal the ideal moment to execute a precise flip, revealing a golden-brown underside.
  7. Continue cooking the opposite side until achieving an even, appetizing caramel-like coloration.
  8. Transfer freshly prepared pancakes to serving plates, presenting them while maintaining optimal warmth and inviting appearance.
  9. Embellish with preferred accompaniments such as maple syrup, fresh berries, whipped cream, or additional butter, tailoring to personal taste preferences.

Notes

  • Adjust batter thickness by adding a splash of milk if it seems too dense, ensuring light and airy pancakes every time.
  • Separate egg whites and whip them before folding into the batter for extra fluffiness and a cloud-like texture.
  • Rest the batter for 5-10 minutes before cooking to allow flour to hydrate and gluten to relax, resulting in tender pancakes.
  • Customize the recipe by adding mix-ins like blueberries, chocolate chips, or chopped nuts directly into the batter for variety.
