👨🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions
1️⃣ Mix the dry ingredients
In a large bowl, combine:
- flour
- sugar
- baking powder
- salt
Mix well so everything is evenly distributed.

Whisk until the mixture is smooth.
3️⃣ Make the batter
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients.
Mix gently until you get a smooth and slightly thick batter.
Do not overmix to keep the pancakes fluffy.
4️⃣ Heat the pan
Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil.
5️⃣ Cook the pancakes
Pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the pan for each pancake.
Cook for 2–3 minutes until small bubbles appear on the surface.
6️⃣ Flip the pancakes
Flip the pancake with a spatula and cook the other side for 1–2 minutes until golden brown.
7️⃣ Serve
Stack the pancakes on a plate and top with:
- butter
- maple syrup or honey

✨ Tip for extra fluffy pancakes:
Let the batter rest for 5–10 minutes before cooking. This helps make the pancakes even lighter.
