Ingredients
-
Plain Flour: Use plain flour for basic pancakes. Alternatively, a mix of ½ cup wheat flour and ½ cup plain flour or 1 cup whole wheat flour can be used. Whole wheat flour may slightly alter the texture, but the pancakes will still be delicious.
-
Baking Powder: For every cup of plain flour, use 2 teaspoons of baking powder. This ratio ensures perfectly soft pancakes. Avoid substituting baking powder with baking soda, as they have different properties and functions.
-
Milk: Full-fat whole milk works best. The combination of milk, egg, and baking powder results in soft, fluffy pancakes. For a dairy-free option, use almond or soy milk.
-
Egg: Essential for light and soft pancakes. For eggless pancakes, refer to a specific eggless recipe. Adding a touch of vanilla extract or cinnamon powder can enhance the flavor.
-
Sugar: Minimal sugar is needed since pancakes are typically served with sweet toppings like syrup or fruits.
-
Melted Butter: Adding melted butter or oil to the batter helps create pancakes with an even golden color and improves flavor. No additional fat is needed in the pan when cooking.
How to Make Pancakes
1)Take eggs in a mixing bowl.

2)Add sugar. Minimal sugar is needed since the pancakes will be served with syrup.
3)Add in ¼ tsp vanilla extract.
4)Pour in milk and use a whisk to combine.
5)Now add in the flour. I used plain flour. Instead of plain flour you can use ½ cup wheat flour ½ cup of maida or use 1 cup of whole wheat flour.
6)Add in salt into the flour.
7)Add in baking powder. For pancakes you have to use little extra baking powder for fluffy texture. Mix the batter till smooth. Don’t over the batter.
8)Once the batter is mixed well, pour in melted butter. Instead of melted butter you can add any flavourless oil. For making pancakes you don’t add oil or butter in the pan instead you mix it into the batter. Mix the melted butter into the pancake batter.

9)Now heat a pan. You can use nonstick pan or cast-iron pan for making pancakes. Heat the pan on medium high heat. Once the pan is hot, pour ladleful of batter into the pan and cook on medium heat till you see bubbles forming on top.
10)Once you see bubbles on them, you can flip the pancakes and cook for few more seconds.
Enjoy your best homemade pancakes!
