Fluffy Homemade Pancakes

There’s nothing quite like waking up to the smell of fluffy homemade pancakes sizzling on a hot skillet.

These golden stacks are simple, cozy, and feel like a warm hug on a lazy morning.

Whether it’s a weekday treat or a slow weekend breakfast, this is the kind of recipe I come back to again and again.

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

Super soft texture – Light, fluffy, and never dense.

Pantry staples – Made with everyday ingredients you already have.

Quick and easy – Ready in under 20 minutes from start to finish.

No mixer needed – Just two bowls and a spatula.

Customizable – Perfect base for berries, chocolate chips, or spices.

What You’ll Need (Ingredient Highlights)

All-purpose flour – The foundation for structure and fluff.

Baking powder – Helps the pancakes rise and stay airy.

Milk – Adds creaminess and moisture.

Egg – Provides richness and helps bind the batter.

Sugar – A touch of sweetness to balance the flavor.

Oil or melted butter – Keeps the texture moist and tender.

Vanilla extract – A hint of warm, sweet aroma.

Salt – Just enough to bring all the flavors together.

Pro Tips Before You Start

Don’t overmix – Stop stirring once the dry streaks disappear. Lumps are okay!

Use a non-stick skillet – Or a lightly greased griddle for even browning.

Wait for bubbles – That’s your cue the pancake is ready to flip.

Preheat fully – A hot surface ensures golden edges.

Keep warm – Place finished pancakes in a warm oven (200°F) while you cook the rest.

How to Make Fluffy Homemade Pancakes

Step 1: Mix the Dry Ingredients

In a large bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, and salt.

Step 2: Combine the Wet Ingredients

In another bowl, whisk milk, egg, sugar, oil (or melted butter), and vanilla until smooth.

Step 3: Make the Batter

Gently pour the wet ingredients into the dry. Fold with a spatula just until combined—don’t overmix.

Step 4: Heat the Skillet

Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat.

Lightly grease with oil or butter.

Step 5: Cook the Pancakes

Pour about ¼ cup of batter onto the skillet.

Cook until bubbles form and edges look set.

Step 6: Flip and Finish

Flip carefully and cook another minute or until golden brown.

Repeat with remaining batter.

Step 7: Serve Warm

Stack the pancakes and serve with butter, maple syrup, whipped cream, or toppings of choice.

What to Serve It With

Maple syrup, honey, or fruit compote

Fresh berries or banana slices

Scrambled eggs or breakfast sausage

Whipped cream and chocolate chips

A side of hot coffee or fresh orange juice

Variations / Substitutions

Add-ins – Try blueberries, mini chocolate chips, or chopped nuts.

Dairy-free – Use almond milk or oat milk with neutral oil.

Whole wheat flour – Swap part or all for a heartier pancake.

Spiced – Add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg for warmth.

Vegan version – Use a flax egg and plant-based milk.

Storage & Leftovers

Fridge: Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

Reheat: Microwave briefly or toast in a skillet for crispy edges.

Freeze: Stack between parchment paper and freeze up to 2 months.

Meal prep tip: Make a double batch and freeze extras for busy mornings.

FAQs

Can I make the batter ahead of time?
It’s best to mix fresh, but you can prep the dry and wet ingredients separately in advance.

How do I know when to flip the pancakes?
Look for bubbles on the surface and slightly dry edges—it’s flip time!

Can I use buttermilk instead of regular milk?
Yes! It gives the pancakes a tangy, rich flavor.

Why are my pancakes flat?
Check your baking powder—it may be expired. Also, avoid overmixing.

Can I cook these on an electric griddle?
Absolutely! Heat to 350°F and cook as you would on a skillet.

What oil is best for greasing the pan?
Neutral oils like canola or vegetable oil work best, or butter for flavor.

Can I make mini pancakes with this batter?
Yes, just use a smaller scoop and reduce cooking time slightly.
