Easy Fluffy Pancake Recipe
A pancake is a flat, round, and thin cake made from a batter of flour, milk, eggs, and a leavening agent like baking powder. This batter is typically poured onto a hot, greased surface, such as a griddle or frying pan, and cooked until golden brown on both sides. Pancakes are enjoyed in various forms worldwide, often served as a breakfast dish or dessert.
In many Western countries, pancakes are served with toppings like maple syrup, honey, fruit, or whipped cream. Other regions have unique versions, such as crepes in France, which are thin and larger, or dosas in India, which are savory and made from fermented rice and lentil batter.

Ingredients
- Dry Ingredients
- 250g plain flour
- 50g granulated sugar
- 12g baking powder
- 1 pinch of salt
- Wet Ingredients
- 250ml milk
- 25g melted butter (or oil)
- A few drops of vanilla essence
- 2 large eggs
Instructions
- Prepare the Batter
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Make a well in the center. - Add Wet Ingredients
Pour the milk, melted butter (slightly cooled), vanilla essence, and eggs into the well. Using a wire whisk, mix the wet ingredients together, then gently fold them into the dry ingredients. Stir until smooth—small lumps are fine. - Cook the Pancakes
- Heat a non-stick pan or griddle over low-medium heat. Lightly grease with a small amount of butter.
- Pour batter into the pan (about 1/4 cup per pancake). When bubbles start forming on the surface and the underside is golden brown, flip with a spatula.
- Cook the other side until golden and cooked through.
- Serve
Serve warm with honey, maple syrup, fresh fruit, ice cream, or frozen yogurt. Or enjoy them plain!
Tip: Keep the heat at a steady low-medium to avoid burning and ensure a perfectly fluffy texture.
