There’s nothing quite like waking up to the smell of warm, golden pancakes sizzling on the pan. Soft, pillowy, and perfectly fluffy, these pancakes are a family favorite for breakfast or brunch. This big-batch recipe makes enough to feed everyone at the table, so grab your syrup, butter, and toppings—it’s time to enjoy a stack of happiness!
Ingredients (Serves 6–8, about 12–15 pancakes):
3 cups (380 g) all-purpose flour
2 tbsp baking powder
2 tbsp granulated sugar (or up to 4 tbsp for sweeter pancakes)
½ tsp salt
2 ½ cups (600 ml) milk (room temperature)
2 large eggs
6 tbsp unsalted butter, melted (plus extra for cooking)
2 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
🥣 Instructions:
- Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt until evenly combined.
- Prepare the Wet Ingredients
In another bowl, whisk the eggs, then add milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
- Make the Batter
Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture. Stir gently with a spatula until just combined—don’t overmix (a few lumps are fine). The batter should be thick and creamy.
👉 Let the batter rest for 10 minutes to allow the baking powder to activate.
- Cook the Pancakes
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter. Pour about ½ cup of batter per pancake. Cook until bubbles appear on top and edges start to look set (about 2–3 minutes). Flip and cook the other side for 1–2 minutes until golden brown.
- Serve & Enjoy
Stack the pancakes high and serve them warm with butter, maple syrup, honey, or your favorite toppings.
🌟 Tips for Extra Fluffiness
Let the batter rest before cooking—it makes the pancakes rise higher.
Don’t press down on the pancakes while cooking.
Replace ½ cup of milk with buttermilk for a richer flavor and extra fluff.
Keep cooked pancakes warm in a low oven (200°F / 90°C) until serving.
