Easy Fluffy Pancakes 🥞✨

Light, soft, and beautifully fluffy — perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a weekend treat.

These pancakes are incredibly easy to make and turn out fluffy every time. I found it easiest to use a ladle to scoop the batter into the pan — it gives each pancake a perfect round shape. This batch was served with fresh strawberries, honey, and my homemade blackberry syrup for a sweet, fruity finish. 🍓🍯 You can also add blueberries to the batter for delicious blueberry pancakes. 🫐

Ingredients

• 1 cup (125 g) plain flour
• 2 tbsp sugar
• 2 tsp baking powder
• Pinch of salt
• 1 cup (240 ml) milk
• 1 large egg
• 2 tbsp melted butter or oil
• Optional: ½ tsp vanilla extract
• Optional: A handful of blueberries for blueberry pancakes 🫐

Method

1. Mix the dry ingredients: Add flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt to a bowl.
2. Combine the wet ingredients: Whisk the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla in a separate bowl.
3. Bring together: Pour the wet mixture into the dry and stir gently. A few small lumps are fine.
4. Heat the pan: Warm a non‑stick pan on medium and lightly grease it.
5. Pour the batter: Use a ladle to add about ¼ cup of batter per pancake. If making blueberry pancakes, sprinkle a few blueberries on top before flipping.
6. Cook: Wait for bubbles to form, flip, and cook until golden.
7. Serve: Enjoy warm with strawberries, honey, yoghurt, syrup, fruit, or homemade blackberry syrup. 🍓🍯
