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!

Jessica G on 2026-06-28 (5 stars): Definitely a good recipe. I added the juice of half a lemon to activate the baking soda. The pancakes were nice and fluffy and not too sweet.

Christie on 2026-06-27 (5 stars): Excellent recipe. Light and fluffy
Carla Davis on 2026-06-25 (5 stars): Loved the taste and texture of these pancakes. The only change I made was I used buttermilk instead of whole milk as that was what I had on hand. I was concerned that they would be too sweet, but they weren't for me. I will definitely be making these again.
Rachel on 2026-06-21 (5 stars): Fluffy perfection!!
Lauren on 2026-06-21 (3 stars): These were fine. They didn't rise and weren't fluffy but they tasted good
Kerrie wilkinson on 2026-06-21 (5 stars): My go to pancake recipe. Spot on 😁
Brian HAMPTON on 2026-06-20 (5 stars): Best tasting ever!!!!
Marilyn on 2026-06-20 (5 stars): Loved these pancakes. Made them before but didn’t read all the tips. Tips make a huge difference.
Nick on 2026-06-20 (5 stars): Great recipe! I tailored it to my taste and I doubled the salt and instead of vanilla extract, I used two fresh vanilla pods.
I thought I had maple syrup, but turns out I didn’t. I did have a jar of honey butter I make with loads of garlic and chili. Absolutely delicious. Very savory.
bobbieganush on 2026-06-19 (4 stars): The sugar made it overly sweet for my taste. Also I found the finished pancakes to be good but they're weren't 5-star.
Mark K on 2026-06-19 (5 stars): Awesome Taste, loved the fluffiness. This is the recipe I was looking for. This is my go to pancake meal.
Laurie Jean on 2026-06-18 (5 stars): Wow, these pancakes are delicious and so fluffy!
Erin on 2026-06-18 (5 stars): This is like the third recipe I've ever got the comment for online because these are that damn good.
I made the 2x recipe
left out 20g of sugar and 180g of milk
Added 15g of honey and molasses each and 4g instant espresso powder
This is the first online recipe I've found where they actually came out fluffy.
I cooked a large pan* in the oven and a few on the stove and all came out great
*Only fill your cookie sheet/ large pan ½ way because they are very fluffy and get tall 😄
