🥞 Classic American Pancakes Recipe
👩‍🍳 Servings:
Makes about 8–10 pancakes (serves 3–4 people)

📋 Ingredients:
1 ½ cups (190 g) all-purpose flour
3 ½ teaspoons (14 g) baking powder
1 tablespoon (12 g) granulated sugar (adjust to taste)
¼ teaspoon salt
1 ¼ cups (300 ml) milk (preferably whole milk)
1 large egg
3 tablespoons (45 g) unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional, but recommended)
Extra butter or oil for cooking

🍽️ Optional Toppings:
Maple syrup
Butter
Fresh fruits (bananas, berries, etc.)
Whipped cream
Chocolate chips or nuts

🥣 Instructions:
Step 1: Prepare the dry ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.

Whisk them well until evenly combined. Set aside.

Step 2: Prepare the wet ingredients
In a separate medium bowl or jug, whisk together the milk, egg, and vanilla extract.

Slowly add the melted butter while whisking. Make sure the butter is not too hot, or it might cook the egg.

Step 3: Combine wet and dry ingredients
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients.

Pour the wet mixture into the well and gently stir with a spoon or spatula.

Do not overmix: it's okay if the batter is a bit lumpy. Overmixing will make the pancakes dense.

Step 4: Rest the batter (optional but recommended)
Let the batter rest for 5–10 minutes. This helps the gluten relax and results in fluffier pancakes.

Step 5: Preheat the pan
Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat.

Lightly grease the surface with butter or oil.

Step 6: Cook the pancakes
Pour about ¼ cup of batter onto the pan for each pancake.

Let it cook for 2–3 minutes, or until you see bubbles forming on the surface and the edges look set.

Flip carefully with a spatula and cook another 1–2 minutes until golden brown.

Adjust heat as needed to prevent burning.

Step 7: Serve warm
Stack the pancakes and serve immediately with your favorite toppings.

🔁 Tips:
For extra fluffiness, separate the egg yolk and white. Whip the white until stiff peaks form and fold it into the batter at the end.
If using buttermilk instead of regular milk, reduce the baking powder to 2 tsp and add ½ tsp baking soda.
Pancakes can be kept warm in a 200°F (90°C) oven while you cook the rest.
