These Perfect Fluffy Pancakes are light, airy, and irresistibly soft. Made with simple ingredients, they are quick to prepare and perfect for breakfast or brunch!
In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
Make a well in the center and pour in the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract (if using). Stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.
Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2 minutes. Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
Stack pancakes and serve warm with syrup, butter, or fresh fruit.
Notes

Customization: Add blueberries, chocolate chips, or cinnamon to the batter for extra flavor.
Serving Tip: Serve with maple syrup, whipped cream, or a dusting of powdered sugar for a delicious finish.
