Helpful Tips
- Avoid overmixing the batter at all costs; leave those small lumps in because they create air pockets that guarantee a light and airy interior.
- Let the batter sit on the counter for at least ten minutes to allow the baking powder to react and the flour to hydrate for better lift.
- For those seeking authentic buttermilk pancakes, simply swap the regular milk for buttermilk to gain a tangy flavor and even more height.
- Maintain a steady medium-low heat to ensure the middle cooks through completely without burning the exterior of your golden rounds.
- Customize your stack by folding in fruit for banana pancakes or adding seasonal puree for pumpkin pancakes once the batter is mixed.
Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar to ensure there are no large clumps.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth.
- Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet mixture.
- Whisk the ingredients together until just combined; it is very important to leave some lumps for the fluffiest results.
- Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium-high heat until a drop of water sizzles on the surface.
- Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 1/4 cup for each pancake.
- Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, then flip and brown the other side.

If you are making pancakes for one, feel free to freeze any extras by placing parchment paper between them in a sealed container.
