Classic Fluffy Pancakes Stack (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Dry Ingredients

01 - 190 g all-purpose flour
02 - 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
03 - 1 tablespoon baking powder
04 - 0.5 teaspoon salt

→ Wet Ingredients

05 - 300 ml milk (any variety)
06 - 1 egg
07 - 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (plus more for greasing)
08 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

→ Optional Add-ins

09 - Blueberries
10 - Chocolate chips
11 - Banana slices
12 - Chopped nuts

# Instructions:

01 - In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until uniformly incorporated.
02 - In a separate bowl or jug, whisk together milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract if using, until smooth.
03 - Pour wet ingredients into the bowl with dry ingredients. Gently stir with a spatula until just combined; some lumps should remain. Allow batter to rest for 5 minutes if possible.
04 - Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly coat surface with butter or oil.
05 - Portion approximately 60 ml (1/4 cup) of batter onto the hot surface for each pancake. For add-ins, sprinkle desired amount directly onto each pancake. Cook until bubbles appear and edges are set, about 2–3 minutes. Flip and cook another 1–2 minutes until golden and cooked through.
06 - Transfer pancakes to a plate and serve warm with preferred toppings such as butter, syrup, fresh fruit, or additional add-ins.

# Notes:

01 - Do not overmix the batter; maintaining some lumps ensures tender, fluffy pancakes.
02 - For best results, allow batter to rest briefly before cooking.
03 - Use a ladle or measuring cup for portioning even-sized pancakes.
