Introduction
Soft pancakes are one of the most loved breakfast dishes around the world. They are light, fluffy, slightly sweet, and perfect for any time of the day. Whether you enjoy them with syrup, fruits, chocolate, or butter, this recipe will give you incredibly soft and delicious pancakes every time.
Dry Ingredients:
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients:
- 1 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons melted butter (or vegetable oil)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional but recommended)
🥣 Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, add:
- Flour
- Sugar
- Baking powder
- Salt
Mix everything well using a whisk or spoon. This step is important because it evenly distributes the baking powder, which helps the pancakes rise and become fluffy.
Step 2: Mix the Wet Ingredients
In another bowl, combine:
- Milk
- Egg
- Melted butter
- Vanilla extract
Whisk the mixture until smooth. Make sure the butter is not too hot so it doesn’t cook the egg.
Step 3: Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients
Slowly pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients.
Mix gently until combined.
⚠️ Do NOT overmix!
A few lumps are completely fine. Overmixing will make the pancakes tough instead of soft.
Step 4: Let the Batter Rest
Let the batter sit for 5–10 minutes.
This allows:
- The flour to absorb liquid
- The baking powder to activate
- The pancakes to become softer and fluffier
Step 5: Heat the Pan
- Use a non-stick pan or griddle
- Heat on medium-low heat
- Lightly grease with butter or oil
Step 6: Cook the Pancakes
Pour about ¼ cup of batter into the pan for each pancake.
Cook until:
- Bubbles form on the surface
- The edges look set
Flip and cook the other side for about 1–2 minutes until golden brown.
Step 7: Serve
Serve hot with your favorite toppings:
🍯 Maple syrup
🍓 Fresh fruits
🍫 Chocolate spread
