Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose (or plain flour)
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!

Then on 2026-04-03 (5 stars): Decrease sugar and butter... No difference in taste.
Loretta McMahon on 2026-03-31 (5 stars): I am 74 years old and have been making pancakes for many years and this is the best recipe I have ever used. I decided today I would look at some pancake recipes and when I saw yours I was intrigued by the amount of baking powder used. To my delight we absolutely loved it. Thank you!

Ivette on 2026-03-31 (5 stars): Best pancake recipe EVER! And I’ve made a bunch of different ones lol, thank you!
Debbie Cavalcante on 2026-03-29 (5 stars): It’s very thick it is quite fluffy. You might want to add a little more milk so that you can get more out of the batch I sometimes like to double the ingredients so that I have enough to make for my family of five and I freeze the rest I throw chocolate chips and some and some I make with blueberries and top it with whip, whipped cream and syrup

Paula on 2026-03-22 (5 stars): Wow finally I found a perfect pancake recipe!! My only change was adding water instead of milk (bc I never have milk) and I added 1/3 of a vanilla protein powder to help with taste and texture and it was perfect!!
Mary Cahill on 2026-03-22 (5 stars): Agree!
Layla on 2026-03-22 (5 stars): I have been looking for years for a recipe for pancakes that weren't dry and soaks up what feels like gallons of syrup. These were amazing! Light, fluffy, and moist. I will definitely make again.
