Fluffy American Pancakes Ingredients

• 1½ cups White flour
• 4 teaspoons Baking powder
• ½ teaspoon Salt
• 1 Tablespoon Sugar
• 1¼ cup Milk
• 3 Tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
• 1 Egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract

How to Make the Best Fluffy American Pancakes

1. In a large bowl, sift all dry ingredients: white flour, baking powder, salt and sugar. Mix it well.
2. Add all the wet ingredients: the egg, milk and melted butter. Mix it well using a wire whisk until smooth. Add the vanilla extract and mix it.
3. In a pan on medium-low heat, add a little bit of oil and make sure to spread across the entire pan. You can use a brush or a paper towel to help.
4. With the help of a ladle, pour around ¼ cup of the batter gently to the slightly oiled pan.
5. When bubbles start appear at the top part (and the bottom is golden), flip the pancake with the help of a spatula.
6. Repeat the process until all batter is used.
7. Serve it immediately with maple syrup, fruits, honey, whipped cream or any other toppings of your preference.

Recipe Tips

1. Don’t Over mix the Batter: Mix the batter until just combined. A few lumps are okay; over mixing can lead to tough pancakes.
2. Let the Batter Rest: Allow the batter to rest for about 5-10 minutes. This helps the gluten relax and results in lighter, fluffier pancakes.
