How to Make Fluffy Pancakes
Step 1

Step 2
In another bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
Step 3
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients.
Step 4
Mix gently until everything is combined. A few small lumps are fine. Do not over mix because this can make the pancakes less fluffy.

Step 6
Lightly grease the pan with a little butter.
Step 7
Pour about one fourth cup of batter onto the hot pan for each pancake.
Step 8
Cook until bubbles appear on the surface and the edges begin to look set.
Step 9
Turn the pancake over and cook for another two to three minutes until golden brown.
Step 10
Repeat with the remaining batter.
Step 11
Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why are my pancakes not fluffy?
Old baking powder, over mixing the batter, or cooking on very high heat can make pancakes less fluffy.
Can I make the batter ahead of time?
It is best to cook the batter soon after mixing, but you can prepare it up to one day in advance and keep it in the refrigerator.
Can I freeze pancakes?
Yes. Allow them to cool completely before freezing in a sealed container or freezer bag.
What toppings taste best?
Butter, maple syrup, honey, fresh berries, sliced bananas, whipped cream, chocolate chips, or peanut butter are all delicious choices.
Can I use whole wheat flour?
Yes. Whole wheat flour works well, but the pancakes may be slightly denser.
Can I make these pancakes without vanilla?
Yes. The pancakes will still taste delicious without vanilla extract.
