Homemade fluffy pancakes are the best for breakfast or brunch. They’re soft, light, and incredibly delicious with fresh berries and maple syrup dripping down. They’re also quick to prepare and only require a few basic ingredients from your pantry. Believe me, this easy recipe will soon be your favorite for sleepy weekend mornings to wake you up with a cup of hot coffee on the table.

Making a delicious breakfast for kids can be stressful, and this recipe will never do you wrong. It is quick and easy. Even measure the dry ingredients the night before to make an easy morning. The recipe requires only six simple ingredients that everyone has in the kitchen. Plus, it’s always lovely to add more flavor to the pancake with a teaspoon of vanilla paste if desired. It’s also a fail-proof recipe that everyone can make with only a nonstick frying pan. Mix the batter and cook to perfection, and the taste is always guaranteed.
Fluffy Pancakes Ingredients
This ultimate homemade pancake recipe calls for six ingredients:
All-purpose flour Caster sugar Baking powder Milk Egg Unsalted butter
Baking powder is the reason the pancakes rise high and fluffy. Check the expiration date of the baking powder before use. Use either whole milk or 2% milk for the best result. You may also substitute with nondairy milk such as oat milk, soy milk, or almond milk. See the recipe card for full information on ingredients.
How To Make Fluffy Pancakes
Fluffy pancakes are easy to prepare and take less than 10 minutes to make the batter. First, combine all the dry ingredients in a bowl. Then, add all the wet ingredients to another bowl, and whisk to combine well. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ones, and stir and mix until all ingredients are just incorporated. Then, set aside. Do not overmix the batter. Finally, cook the pancakes in a nonstick frying pan. Grease the pan with butter, drop three tablespoons of batter onto the pan and spread out into a round shape. Cook each side of the pancake for 1 to 2 minutes until light brown. Serve immediately with butter, syrup and fresh berries.
Cooking Tips
Do not over mix the batter. When you combine the wet ingredients with the dry ones, stir and mix until all ingredients are just incorporated. It’s ok to leave some lumps in the batter. Over mixing the batter will make flat pancakes and we don’t want that. To ensure the pancakes will rise high and fluffy, we need to let the batter sit for a few minutes to activate the baking powder before cooking. Grease the pan with butter to avoid sticking when flipping.
