If you’re looking for a delicious and easy fluffy pancake recipe, look no further! These pancakes are light, fluffy, and oh-so-tasty, perfect for a weekend brunch or lazy morning breakfast. This recipe yields a batch of 8-10 pancakes, so it’s great for feeding a crowd or meal prepping for the week ahead.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 large eggs
• 2 cups buttermilk
• 1/3 cup vegetable oil or melted butter
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
2. In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, buttermilk, oil or melted butter, and vanilla extract.
3. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. The batter should be thick and slightly lumpy.
4. Heat a nonstick griddle or large skillet over medium-high heat. Grease the surface with cooking spray or butter.
5. Using a 1/4-cup measuring cup, scoop the batter onto the griddle or skillet. Cook the pancakes until the edges start to dry and the surface is bubbly, about 2-3 minutes.
6. Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until the other side is golden brown.
7. Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the surface as needed.
8. Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings, such as butter, maple syrup, fresh berries, whipped cream, or chocolate chips.

Tips:

• Make sure your ingredients are at room temperature before starting the recipe. This will help the batter mix together evenly and make for fluffier pancakes.
• Use buttermilk in the batter for extra tang and tenderness. If you don’t have buttermilk on hand, you can make a quick substitute by mixing 1 tablespoon of white vinegar or lemon juice with 1 cup of milk and letting it sit for 5-10 minutes until it curdles.
• Don’t overmix the batter, as this can lead to tough pancakes. A few lumps in the batter is totally fine.
• If your pancakes are browning too quickly or unevenly, adjust the heat on your griddle or skillet. You want the pancakes to cook through without burning.
• Try adding mix-ins to the batter, such as chocolate chips, blueberries, or chopped nuts, for extra flavor and texture.
• To keep your pancakes warm while you cook the rest of the batch, place them on a baking sheet in a 200°F oven until ready to serve.

This fluffy pancake recipe is sure to be a hit with your family and friends. The key to achieving light and fluffy pancakes is to avoid overmixing the batter and to use room temperature ingredients. Don’t be afraid to get creative with your toppings and mix-ins, and enjoy a delicious and comforting breakfast treat!
