The flavor is gently sweet with a hint of vanilla, making it versatile enough to pair with a variety of toppings. The edges are slightly crisp while the center remains soft and fluffy, creating a balanced and comforting texture.

Health Benefits
While pancakes are often considered indulgent, making them at home gives you full control over ingredients. Eggs provide high-quality protein, milk adds calcium, and you can substitute part of the flour with whole wheat for extra fiber. Using natural sweeteners instead of refined sugar can also make this breakfast healthier.

Ingredients
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
Pinch of salt
1 egg
1 cup milk
2 tablespoons melted butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
Start by combining all the dry ingredients in a bowl. Mix flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt thoroughly to ensure even distribution.

In a separate bowl, whisk the egg, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently. Avoid overmixing—this is the key to keeping the pancakes fluffy. A slightly lumpy batter is perfectly fine.

Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and lightly grease it. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the pan for each pancake.

Cook until bubbles appear on the surface, then flip and cook the other side until golden brown.

Tips for Best Results
Let the batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking.
Cook on medium heat to prevent burning.
Do not press pancakes while cooking.

Taste & Texture
Soft, airy, and slightly crisp on the edges with a rich buttery taste.

Serving Suggestions
Serve with maple syrup, fresh fruits, whipped cream, or yogurt.
