Light and Fluffy Pancakes

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Light and Fluffy Pancakes.

1. Step 1

   Start by grabbing a large mixing bowl and whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt until everything is nicely blended.

2. Step 2

   Next, add in the milk, a beaten egg, three tablespoons of vegetable oil, and a splash of vanilla extract.

3. Step 3

   Gently mix the ingredients until they’re just combined, making sure to leave a few lumps in the batter—this little trick will give your pancakes that delightful fluffiness we all love.

4. Step 4

   Now, let the batter rest for about five minutes; this short pause will work wonders for the texture of your pancakes.

5. Step 5

   While the batter is resting, preheat your griddle over medium heat and lightly brush it with a teaspoon of vegetable oil.

6. Step 6

   When the oil starts to shimmer, it’s time to pour about a quarter cup of batter onto the hot surface.

7. Step 7

   Cook the pancake until you see bubbles forming on the surface and the edges looking a bit dry, which should take around two minutes.

8. Step 8

   Flip the pancake over and let it cook for another two minutes, or until it turns a beautiful golden brown.

9. Step 9

   Keep repeating this process with the remaining batter, adding a little more oil to the griddle as needed.

    Soon enough, you’ll have a stack of fluffy pancakes ready to be enjoyed!.
