Ingredients

1/4 cup granulated sugar (or sweetener)

Steps
Combine together the flour, sugar (or sweetener), baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl. Make a well in the centre and add the milk, slightly cooled melted butter, vanilla and egg.
Use a wire whisk to whisk the wet ingredients together first before slowly folding them into the dry ingredients. Mix together until smooth (there may be a couple of lumps but that's okay).(The batter will be thick and creamy in consistency. If you find the batter too thick -- doesn't pour off the ladle or out of the measuring cup smoothly -- fold a couple tablespoons of extra milk into the batter at a time until reaching desired consistency).
Set the batter aside and allow to rest while heating up your pan or griddle.
Heat a nonstick pan or griddle over low-medium heat and wipe over with a little butter to lightly grease pan. Pour ¼ cup of batter onto the pan and spread out gently into a round shape with the back of your ladle or measuring cup.
When the underside is golden and bubbles begin to appear on the surface, flip with a spatula and cook until golden. Repeat with remaining batter.
Serve with honey, maple syrup, fruit, ice cream or frozen yoghurt, or enjoy plain!

Andrea V. on 2026-08-18 (5 stars): These are by far the best pancake recipe I have ever made! They are a hit everytime I make them.
Riri on 2026-08-17 (5 stars): I loved this recipe so much! This was my very first attempt at making pancakes and they turned out exactly like in the picture! Perfectly fluffy and extremely delicious. I had them with some vanilla ice cream and dried blueberries at 1 in the morning. It satisfied my cravings and now I'm also the personal pancake maker of the house.

Michaela Pitman on 2026-08-15 (5 stars): I added a dash of extra milk and some kefir because the mixture looked a little dry (probably becuase I added two scoops of protein powder?) and I think it helped to make them not feel dry. I read you can often sub milk for kefir. Next time I might try that. Or do half and half.
Came out really good! Thanks for the recipe.
