🥞 Fluffy & Golden Pancake Recipe

✅ Ingredients (makes about 8 medium pancakes):

• 1 ½ cups (190g) all-purpose flour

• 3 ½ tsp baking powder

• 1 Tbsp sugar

• ½ tsp salt

• 1 ¼ cups (300ml) milk (whole or 2% preferred)

• 1 large egg

• 3 Tbsp unsalted butter, melted (plus more for the pan)

• 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional for flavor boost)

🔪 Instructions:

1. Mix Dry Ingredients
   In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.

2. Mix Wet Ingredients
   In a separate bowl or measuring cup, whisk together milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla (if using).

3. Combine
   Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Gently stir just until combined. Don’t overmix—a few small lumps are okay. Let the batter rest for 5–10 minutes to help with fluffiness.

4. Preheat the Pan
   Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or oil.

5. Cook the Pancakes
   Pour ¼ cup of batter per pancake onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set (about 2–3 minutes). Flip and cook for another 1–2 minutes until golden brown.

6. Serve Warm
   Serve with butter, maple syrup, berries, or your favorite toppings!

💡 Tips for Extra Fluffiness:

• Use fresh baking powder for maximum rise.

• Let the batter rest before cooking.

• Don’t press down on the pancakes while cooking.

• Add a tablespoon of Greek yogurt or sour cream for extra richness (optional).
