Pancakes are one of the easiest and most delicious breakfast meals you can make at home. They are soft, fluffy, and can be enjoyed with honey, syrup, fruits, or even chocolate spread. The good news is, you don’t need to be a chef to prepare them — just a few ingredients and steps!
Ingredients You’ll Need (for 4–6 pancakes):
•1 cup all-purpose flour
•2 tablespoons sugar
•1 teaspoon baking powder
•½ teaspoon salt
•1 cup milk (you can use whole, skim, or plant-based milk)
•1 egg
•2 tablespoons melted butter or vegetable oil
•1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional, for flavor)
Step-by-Step Preparation
1. Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. This ensures your pancakes will be fluffy and well-mixed.
2. Add the Wet Ingredients
In another bowl, beat the egg, then add milk, melted butter, and vanilla. Mix well until smooth.
3. Combine the Mixtures
Slowly pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. Don’t overmix — it’s okay if the batter looks a little lumpy.
4. Heat Your Pan
Place a non-stick pan on medium heat and lightly grease it with a little oil or butter.
5. Cook the Pancakes
Pour a small amount of batter (about ¼ cup) into the pan. Cook until bubbles form on the surface (about 1–2 minutes), then flip and cook the other side until golden brown.
6. Serve and Enjoy
Stack your pancakes on a plate and serve with:
•Honey or maple syrup 🍯
•Fresh fruits 🍓🍌🍍
•Peanut butter or Nutella 🍫
•A sprinkle of powdered sugar
Quick Tip: For extra fluffiness, let your batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking.
In less than 20 minutes, you’ll have a delicious breakfast ready to enjoy! 🥞✨
