🥞 Fluffy Pancakes – Extra Soft & Easy Breakfast Recipe

🥞 Fluffy Pancakes – Extra Soft & Easy Breakfast Recipe

There’s nothing quite like starting your morning with a stack of fluffy pancakes. Soft, golden, and perfectly airy, they’re the kind of breakfast that feels like a warm hug on a plate. Whether you’re making them for a lazy weekend brunch or a busy weekday treat, these pancakes are unbelievably easy and always turn out amazing.

The secret behind perfect fluffy pancakes lies in the batter. The right balance between wet and dry ingredients gives that light texture we all crave. You don’t need any fancy tools — just a whisk, a bowl, and a few pantry staples like flour, sugar, baking powder, and milk. In less than 15 minutes, you can have a tall, soft stack dripping with maple syrup and melting butter.

🥞 Why These Pancakes Are So Fluffy

What makes these pancakes stand out is the combination of baking powder and baking soda, which helps them rise beautifully. The batter should be mixed gently — overmixing creates dense pancakes. When you let the batter rest for a few minutes, tiny air bubbles form, resulting in extra fluffiness.

Using buttermilk (or milk with a touch of lemon juice) can take your pancakes to the next level. The acidity reacts with the leavening agents, giving even more lift. The result? Pancakes that are light, tender, and full of flavor.

If you’re a fan of quick and satisfying breakfasts, you’ll also love our Avocado Egg Toast — it’s creamy, protein-packed, and ready in minutes.

👩‍🍳 How to Make the Perfect Fluffy Pancakes

Start by combining all your dry ingredients — flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla. Then pour the wet ingredients into the dry mix and stir until just combined. Don’t worry if you see a few lumps — that’s what makes the texture so good.

Heat a non-stick pan on medium-low. When it’s hot, add a small amount of butter or oil, then pour about ¼ cup of batter for each pancake. When you see bubbles forming on the surface and the edges look set, it’s time to flip. Cook for another minute or two until golden brown.

Serve your fluffy pancakes warm with butter, maple syrup, or even a handful of fresh berries. Every bite is soft, buttery, and deliciously sweet.

🍓 Tips for the Best Pancakes

• Don’t overmix the batter — a few lumps are your best friends.
• Rest the batter for 5–10 minutes before cooking.
• Use a ladle or measuring cup for evenly sized pancakes.
• Wipe the pan lightly between batches to avoid burned butter spots.

• Blueberry Pancakes: fold in fresh or frozen blueberries for a juicy, fruity touch.
