This recipe makes the fluffiest pancakes ever — soft, airy, and golden every time. With just a few pantry staples, you can whip these up for a family breakfast or a cozy weekend brunch.

👩‍🍳 Step-by-Step Cooking Guide

1. Mix Dry Ingredients

  • Combine flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar in a bowl.

2. Add Wet Ingredients

  • Pour in milk and stir until just combined. Batter should be slightly lumpy — this creates lift.

Tip: Overmixing will make pancakes dense.

3. Cook the Pancakes

  • Heat skillet or griddle on medium. Grease lightly with butter or oil.

  • Scoop ¼ cup batter per pancake.

  • Cook 2–3 minutes until bubbles form and edges look set, then flip.

  • Cook another 1–2 minutes until golden brown.
