Ingredients

Scale

2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1¾ cups milk or buttermilk
2 eggs
2 tablespoons melted butter or vegetable oil

Instructions

In a mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, milk (or buttermilk), and melted butter.
Make a well in the dry ingredients and pour in the wet ingredients. Gently mix until just combined (some lumps are fine).
Let the batter rest for 10 minutes to enhance fluffiness.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil.
Pour ¼ cup of batter per pancake onto the skillet, leaving space between them.
Cook until bubbles form on the surface (about 2 minutes), then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
Serve warm with maple syrup, fresh fruit, or whipped cream. Enjoy!

Notes

📌Cooking Tips:

Don’t overmix the batter—lumps are okay!
Resting the batter for 10 minutes makes fluffier pancakes.
Use buttermilk for extra soft and tender pancakes.
Keep cooked pancakes warm in a 200°F oven while making batches.

📌 Storage & Reheating:

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Freeze pancakes for up to 1 month in a ziplock bag.
Reheat in the toaster or microwave until warm.
