Items needed to answer the question, How do I make fluffy pancakes. Items include: all-purpose flour baking powder sugar salt milk egg melted butter

all-purpose flour 1 and a half cups
baking powder 3 and a half teaspoons
sugar 1 tablespoon
salt a pinch
milk 1 and a quarter cups
egg 1 beaten
melted butter 2 tablespoons

Take note
Handle the batter with care, flipping pancakes can be tricky, and be careful not to overmix the batter as it may result in flat pancakes.

1

Mixing Dry Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 1 and a half cups of all-purpose flour, 3 and a half teaspoons of baking powder, 1 tablespoon of sugar, and a pinch of salt until well combined.

2

Adding Wet Ingredients

Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in 1 and a quarter cups of milk, 1 beaten egg, and 2 tablespoons of melted butter. Gently whisk the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. It's okay if there are a few lumps!

3

Resting the Batter

Allow the batter to rest for about 10 minutes. This will help activate the baking powder and create those fluffy pancakes we all love.

4

Preheating the Pan

While the batter is resting, preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-low heat. You want the pan to be hot, but not too hot, or else your pancakes may burn.

5

Flipping Fun

Once the pan is hot, lightly grease it with butter or cooking spray. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the pan for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface of the pancakes, then carefully flip them over with a spatula. Cook for another minute or two, until golden brown and cooked through.

Stacking and Serving

Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate and keep them warm in a low oven while you finish cooking the rest. Serve your fluffy pancakes with your favorite toppings, such as maple syrup, fresh berries, or a dollop of whipped cream. Enjoy!
