A quick, affordable, and easy pancake recipe that yields light, tender pancakes topped with fresh fruit. Perfect for busy mornings or weekend brunches.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups (190g) all-purpose flour
  • 3 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 ¼ cups (300ml) milk (whole milk preferred, dairy-free alternatives optional)
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Fresh fruit for topping (e.g., sliced strawberries, blueberries, ripe bananas)
  • Maple syrup or honey (optional, for serving)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt until evenly distributed.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently just until combined; batter should be slightly lumpy.
  4. Let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes at room temperature to activate the baking powder and relax gluten.
  5. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.
  6. Using a ¼ cup ladle, pour batter onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
  7. Flip carefully and cook the other side for 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
  8. Keep cooked pancakes warm in a 200°F (95°C) oven while finishing the rest.
  9. Serve immediately topped with fresh fruit and drizzle with maple syrup or honey if desired.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to keep pancakes light and fluffy. Let the batter rest before cooking. Use medium heat to avoid burning outside while raw inside. Keep cooked pancakes warm in a low oven. For gluten-free, substitute flour with gluten-free blend and add xanthan gum if needed. For dairy-free, use plant-based milk and coconut oil instead of butter.
