Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Easy Homemade Pancakes
  1. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until combined.
  2. In a separate bowl, combine milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract; whisk until smooth.
  3. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined.
  4. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat; grease if necessary.
  5. Pour approximately ⅓ cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake; cook until bubbles form and edges appear dry.
  6. Flip pancakes and cook until golden brown on the other side.
  7. Serve warm with butter, maple syrup, and fresh fruits.

Notes

Don’t overmix the batter to keep pancakes fluffy. Check that baking powder is fresh. Resting the batter for 5-10 minutes helps in achieving fluffier pancakes.
