How to Make these Easy Homemade Fluffy Pancakes
Preheat electric griddle or pan over medium heat, 350-375F. Drop a few droplets of water on top of the surface, if the water sizzles, it is ready.
Sift flour, white sugar, baking powder, and salt together into a large bowl.
If Buttermilk Pancakes are striking your fancy, just swap out whole milk for buttermilk if you have it on hand. Or make your own buttermilk, just add 1 1/2 Tbs of white vinegar to the 1 1/4 cup whole milk, let it sit 5-10 minutes before mixing into the batter.
Make a well in the center of the flour mixture. Add milk, melted butter, and egg. Mix ingredients using a whisk or fork until just combined. Do not overmix, you want the batter to be slightly lumpy. If mixed too much, pancakes will turn out flat and dense after cooking.
Optional: Gently fold in any extra add-ins such as sliced bananas, strawberries, blueberries, chocolate chips, or any other delicious fresh fruits or savory add-ins that come to your mind.
Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup or a ladle, scoop the batter onto the griddle. Cook until bubbles start to appear on top and edges start to become dry, approximately 3-4 minutes. Flip each pancake and continue to cook on the other side, approximately 1-2 minutes. Repeat with the remaining batter.
