A simple, kid-friendly pancake recipe perfect for Mother’s Day breakfast. These fluffy pancakes are easy to make with pantry staples and create heartwarming moments.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 Β½ cups (190 g) all-purpose flour
  • 3 Β½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ΒΌ teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 ΒΌ cups (300 ml) whole milk (or any milk/dairy-free substitute)
  • 1 large egg (room temperature)
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (plus extra for the pan)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar until evenly combined.
  2. In a separate bowl, beat the egg until lightly frothy. Add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract, whisking until smooth.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold with a spatula or wooden spoon just until the flour disappears. A few lumps are okay; do not overmix.
  4. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and brush lightly with melted butter. Let it warm for about 2 minutes until shimmering but not smoking.
  5. Pour ΒΌ cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set.
  6. Flip carefully and cook the other side for 1-2 minutes until golden brown. Repeat with remaining batter.
  7. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, fresh berries, or whipped cream.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to keep pancakes fluffy. Use medium heat to avoid burning. Keep cooked pancakes warm in a 200Β°F (95Β°C) oven if needed. If batter is too thick, add a splash of milk to loosen it.
