Fluffy Breakfast Pancakes (Serves 4)

Here’s a recipe for breakfast pancakes that serves four:

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 3/4 cups milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • Butter or oil for cooking

Instructions:

  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract (if using) until smooth.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. It’s okay if there are a few lumps; avoid overmixing.
  4. Let the batter rest for about 5-10 minutes. This resting time helps the batter thicken slightly and results in fluffier pancakes.
  5. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add a small amount of butter or oil to coat the surface.
  6. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface of the pancake and the edges begin to set, usually about 2-3 minutes.
  7. Carefully flip the pancake with a spatula and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until golden brown on the bottom.
  8. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more butter or oil to the skillet as needed.
  9. Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, fresh fruit, honey, or whipped cream.

These fluffy pancakes are perfect for a delightful breakfast to serve a family of four! Adjust the toppings according to personal preferences for a delightful morning treat.
