Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
  • 2 tablespoons oil or melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar or lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Prepare Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt to evenly distribute the leavening agent and flavors throughout the batter.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine the milk, oil or melted butter, vanilla extract, and apple cider vinegar or lemon juice. Let the mixture sit for a few minutes to activate the acid, which will help the pancakes become fluffy.
  3. Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, gently folding them together with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; some lumps are desirable to keep the pancakes tender.
  4. Heat and Grease the Pan: Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease it with oil or butter to prevent sticking and ensure even browning.
  5. Cook the Pancakes: Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges appear set, approximately 2 to 3 minutes. Flip carefully and cook the other side until golden brown.
  6. Serve Warm: Stack the cooked pancakes on a plate and serve immediately with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, fresh fruit, or powdered sugar for a cozy and delicious breakfast.

Notes

  • Measure flour correctly: Spoon flour into your measuring cup and level it off rather than scooping to avoid dense pancakes.
  • Do not overmix: Stir the batter just until combined but still slightly lumpy to maintain fluffiness.
  • Let batter rest: Allow the batter to rest for 5 minutes before cooking to fully activate the baking powder.
  • Control heat: Cook pancakes on medium to medium-low heat to avoid burning and ensure even cooking.
  • Use fresh leavening agents: Ensure your baking powder is fresh to achieve proper rise and fluffiness.
