Easy Fluffy Pancakes Recipe - How to Make Pancakes from Scratch

flour

🥗Healthier: whole wheat flour

💰Cheaper: all-purpose flour

Whole wheat flour adds fiber and nutrients.

milk

🥗Healthier: almond milk

💰Cheaper: water

Almond milk reduces calories and is dairy-free.

butter

🥗Healthier: coconut oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Coconut oil is a healthier fat alternative.

sugar

🥗Healthier: honey

💰Cheaper: brown sugar

Honey offers natural sweetness with added flavor.

Whisk together 1.5 cups of all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons of sugar, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, and a little bit of salt in a bowl.

Melt 4 tablespoons of butter in the microwave.

Warm up 1.25 cups of milk until it's warm but not hot.

Add the melted butter, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 1 large egg to the warm milk and whisk everything together until well blended.

Switch out the whisk for a fork and combine the milk mixture with the flour mixture, stirring until you no longer see large clumps of flour.

Heat a large pan or griddle over medium heat; it's ready if you can sprinkle water into the pan and it dances and evaporates.

Add a little butter to the pan, then use a 1/4 cup measuring cup to spoon the batter onto the pan.

When the edges look dry and bubbles start to appear and pop, flip the pancake.

After flipping, cook the pancake for another minute or two until it's lightly browned and cooked in the middle.
