Easy Fluffy Pancakes

September 19, 2019 By

I have a few go-to pancake recipes like my World’s Easiest Pancake Recipe and my Basic Crepe Batter Recipe but another easy peasy fluffy pancake recipe is this one….it can be whipped up in mere moments and cooks up fluffy with some crispy edges (my favorite).

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp. baking powder
  • ½ tsp. salt
  • 2 Tbsp. granulated sugar
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 Tbsp. butter, melted
  • ¼ cup vegetable oil (approximately) for frying the pancakes
  • Good quality butter and pure maple syrup for serving (not optional!)

Directions:

  1. In a small bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar.
  2. In another small bowl, whisk together the milk, egg and butter.
  3. Gently combine the dry and wet ingredients until just incorporated – don’t overmix.
  4. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add a tablespoon of vegetable oil. Ladle about 3 tablespoons of batter onto skillet and cook until the surface of pancakes have some bubbles, around 1 minute (see photo below). Flip the pancake and cook another 90 seconds, or until browned. Continue the process until all the batter’s been used, wrapping cooked pancakes in foil until ready to eat.
  5. Serve with pats of butter and maple syrup.

Serves 4 healthy portions.

World’s Easiest Pancake Recipe

I woke up this morning with pancakes on the brain. I’m usually partial to crepes vs pancakes, but today, after seeing the gorgeous tiny organic strawberries I received in my Bracco Farms CSA box, I wanted pancakes with Quebec maple syrup and strawberries.

This is the simplest pancake recipe of all times with just a few dry ingredients mixed with wet ones easily available at home….no fancy buttermilk, ricotta pancakes….just solid, easy-to-make pancakes the whole family will enjoy.

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp. baking powder
  • 2 Tbsp. granulated sugar
  • ½ tsp. salt
  • 1 cup whole milk 
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 Tbsp. butter, melted
  • 3 Tbsp. vegetable oil

Directions:

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar and salt.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together milk, egg and butter. Add the dry ingredients in the milk mixture and whisk until just moistened with a few lumps – do not overmix.
  3. Heat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Add ½ tablespoon oil and warm for 30 seconds.
  4. Add about ¼ cup batter for each pancake. You should be able to fit 2 pancakes in a large skillet.
  5. Cook until the surface of pancakes has some bubbles and a few have burst, about 1 minute. Flip carefully with a thin spatula, and cook until browned on the second side, about another minute.
  6. Transfer to a plate, cover loosely with aluminum foil to keep warm while cooking the rest of the pancakes.
  7. Continue with more oil and remaining batter.
  8. Serve with berries and pure maple syrup.

Makes 4 servings.
