Classic Fluffy Pancakes
I always enjoy a stack of warm, fluffy pancakes for breakfast. To start, here are the simple ingredients you’ll need:
Ingredients | Quantity |
---|---|
All-purpose flour | 1 1/2 cups |
Sugar | 2 tablespoons |
Baking powder | 3 1/2 teaspoons |
Salt | 1 teaspoon |
Milk | 1 1/4 cups |
Egg | 1 |
Melted butter | 3 tablespoons |
Vanilla extract | 1/2 teaspoon |
Instructions:
- Whisk Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, I combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Blend Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, I mix together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
- Combine: I create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet ingredients. Then, I whisk them together until just blended.
- Heat Pan: I preheat my non-stick pan over medium heat and lightly coat it with cooking spray or butter.
- Cook: For each pancake, I ladle about 1/4 cup of batter onto the pan. I cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges appear set, then flip and cook until golden brown on the other side.
I serve these pancakes immediately with my favorite toppings like maple syrup, fresh berries, or a dollop of whipped cream for a delightful breakfast treat.
Blueberry Bliss Pancakes
To begin, I ensure I have the following ingredients ready:
Quantity | Ingredient |
---|---|
1 cup | all-purpose flour |
2 tbsp | sugar |
1 tsp | baking powder |
1/2 tsp | baking soda |
1/4 tsp | salt |
1 | large egg, beaten |
3/4 cup | milk |
2 tbsp | unsalted butter, melted |
1/2 tsp | vanilla extract |
1 cup | fresh blueberries |
I begin by whisking the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a large bowl. In another bowl, I combine the beaten egg, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. I then pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix gently until the batter is just combined but still lumpy. It’s important not to overmix, as I want the pancakes to be fluffy.
I heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and grease it lightly with butter or oil. Using a 1/4-cup measure, I pour the batter onto the skillet. I quickly sprinkle a handful of blueberries on top of each pancake. When bubbles begin to form and pop on the surface, I flip the pancakes and cook them until they’re golden brown on the other side.
Serve the pancakes warm with a drizzle of maple syrup or a dollop of whipped cream. The blueberry burst in each bite makes for a truly blissful breakfast experience.
Banana Nut Pancakes
I find that starting my day with Banana Nut Pancakes is delightful. They’re not only nourishing but also quite simple to make. Below is my favorite recipe for them.

- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts

- I create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet ingredients, stirring just until moistened.
- I fold in the mashed banana and walnuts, making sure not to overmix the batter, as this keeps the pancakes fluffy.
- I heat a lightly buttered griddle or frying pan over medium-high heat.
- For each pancake, I pour approximately 1/4 cup of the batter onto the griddle.
- When bubbles form on the surface, I flip the pancakes and cook until the second side is golden brown.
Serve these pancakes hot, with your choice of syrup or a dollop of whipped cream. For a healthier option, I sometimes top them with additional fresh banana slices. This recipe makes around 8 pancakes, perfect for a cozy breakfast with family or friends. Enjoy your homemade Banana Nut Pancakes!
