How to Make Fluffy Pancakes From Scratch
Mix the dry stuff: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Add the wet ingredients: Make a little well in the center. Pour in the milk, melted butter, vanilla, and crack in that egg.
Whisk it up: Stir until just combined, don’t overmix! A few lumps are totally fine. Batter should be thick but pourable. If it's too thick, add a splash of milk.
Heat your pan: Warm a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-low heat. Add a little butter, because everything’s better with butter.
Cook 'em: Scoop about ¼ cup of batter per pancake onto the pan. Use the back of the measuring cup to gently spread it into a circle.
Flip when ready: When you see bubbles on top and golden edges underneath, flip and cook the other side until it’s perfectly golden-brown.
Serve hot: Stack them high and serve with warm maple syrup, a pat of butter, fresh fruit, or all of the above. You earned this.
Tips from Your Pancake-Tía
Don’t skip the vanilla, it adds that cozy, from-scratch flavor.
For extra height, use fresh baking powder and resist the urge to flatten them.
Feeling fancy? Add blueberries, bananas, or chocolate chips right into the batter before flipping.
