???? Ingredients (Makes 8 pancakes / Serves 4)

• All-purpose flour – 200g (1⅓ cups)
• Baking powder – 15g (1 tbsp)
• Granulated sugar – 25g (2 tbsp)
• Salt – ¼ tsp
• Milk – 240ml (1 cup)
• Egg – 1 large (50g)
• Unsalted butter (melted) – 30g (2 tbsp)
• Vanilla extract – 1 tsp
• Extra butter or oil – for cooking

????‍???? Instructions

1. Mix Dry Ingredients

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

2. Mix Wet Ingredients

In another bowl or jug, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.

3. Combine Wet and Dry

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix gently until just combined—don’t overmix! The batter will be slightly lumpy, and that’s okay.

4. Let It Rest (Optional but Recommended)

Let the batter rest for 5–10 minutes to let the baking powder activate. This helps make fluffier pancakes.

5. Cook the Pancakes

• Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or oil.
• Pour about ¼ cup (60ml) of batter per pancake into the pan.
• Cook for 2–3 minutes or until bubbles form and edges start to look set.
• Flip and cook for another 1–2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.

????️ Serving Ideas

• Classic: Butter + maple syrup
• Fruity: Fresh berries, banana slices, or stewed apples
• Indulgent: Nutella, whipped cream, or chocolate chips
• Savory: Add bacon or fried eggs on the side for a full plate

???? Tips for Fluffier Pancakes

• Don’t overmix the batter—this keeps the texture soft and airy.
• Rest the batter for 5–10 minutes before cooking.
• If you want extra tall pancakes, add an extra ½ tsp of baking powder and reduce the milk slightly.
• For buttermilk pancakes, substitute the milk with 240ml of buttermilk and reduce baking powder to 1 tsp, adding ½ tsp baking soda.
