Quick & Easy Pancake Recipe for the Perfect Breakfast

This recipe yields about 8 pancakes that are light, fluffy, and full of flavor. The secret to making perfect pancakes is to use the right ingredients in the right proportions, and this recipe does just that. The combination of flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt creates a balanced and tasty pancake batter that is both sweet and savory.

To add moisture and richness to the batter, the recipe calls for milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract. These ingredients help to create a smooth and creamy batter that is easy to work with and produces perfectly cooked pancakes.

To make the pancakes, simply whisk together the dry ingredients in a medium mixing bowl, then whisk together the wet ingredients in a small mixing bowl. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir just until the dry ingredients are moistened. The batter should be slightly lumpy, which is okay.

Next, heat a large nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease the surface with cooking spray or a little bit of butter. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter per pancake into the skillet and use the back of a spoon or a small spatula to spread the batter into a round shape. Cook the pancakes until bubbles form on the surface and the edges start to look dry, about 2-3 minutes, then flip the pancakes and cook until the other side is golden brown, about 1-2 minutes.

Serve the pancakes warm, topped with your favorite toppings such as butter, syrup, fruit, whipped cream, or chocolate chips. Enjoy!
