Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 1/4 cups milk
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Equipment

  • large mixing bowl
  • whisk
  • separate bowl
  • griddle or non-stick pan
  • measuring cups and spoons

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg, then add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated.
Cooking
  1. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined; a few lumps are okay.
  2. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or non-stick pan over medium heat.
  3. Pour 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the hot griddle.
  4. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, flipping only once when bubbles appear and edges look set, and then a quick third flip for optimal fluffiness.
Serve
  1. Serve the fluffy pancakes immediately with your favorite toppings.

Notes

For extra fluffy pancakes, avoid overmixing the batter. A few lumps are perfectly fine and will lead to a lighter texture.
