Soft, fluffy and golden, these homemade pancakes make a delicious breakfast that's quick and easy to prepare.

Ingredients

  • 1½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 1¼ cups milk
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tbsp melted butter
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Few strawberries for garnish

Preparation

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.
  2. In another bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter and vanilla extract.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix gently until just combined. Do not overmix; a few small lumps are fine.
  4. Let the batter rest for five minutes.
  5. Heat a lightly greased non-stick pan or griddle over medium heat.
  6. Pour about ¼ cup of batter onto the pan for each pancake.
  7. Cook until bubbles appear on the surface and the edges begin to set, about 2-3 minutes.
  8. Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
  9. Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the pan as needed.

Serving suggestion

Serve the pancakes warm with a drizzle of maple syrup and top with fresh strawberries for a naturally sweet and refreshing finish. Pair with scrambled eggs, yogurt or a cup of coffee for a wholesome breakfast.
