EASY Fluffy Pancakes
- Total Time: 15 mins
- Yield: 4 1x
Ingredients
- 1 cup self-raising flour
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1 cup full cream milk
- 1 egg
- 40 g or 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted (I melt in 20-second intervals in the microwave)
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp olive oil or olive oil spray
Instructions
- Add self-raising flour and baking powder to a large bowl (add sugar at this point if using, see note 1).
- In a separate bowl, whisk the milk and egg. Add the butter and vanilla extract. The butter may go a little lumpy in the mixture as it cools, and that’s okay.
- Add the wet ingredients to the flour and whisk until combined.
- Preheat a non-stick pan on medium-low heat. The low heat stops the pancakes from browning too quickly on the outside. Add a drizzle of olive oil to the pan if it needs it.
- Use an ice cream scoop to dollop the mixture into the pan. The pancakes will need to cook for 1-2 minutes per side. Place a lid on the pan halfway through cooking to help the pancakes cook through.
- Serve immediately with your favourite toppings. This recipe will make 8 pancakes.
Notes
Note 1 – This recipe does not include sugar. The pancakes are sweetened with toppings. Add 1/4 cup of caster/superfine sugar to your dry mix for a sweet batter.
MAKE AHEAD

I used to make great pancakes, but seemed to have lost my knack.
I’ve tried a few new methods and this is by far the best.
Just normal, pantry ingredients which is good. I added the sugar and they were fab. Thank you!
Bonus that the recipe is easy to remember (2c milk, 2c Sr flour, 2 eggs and 1 tsp baking powder is kinda catchy).

This is literally the only pancake recipe I use. They always come out light and fluffy, even when I substitute half the flour for almond flour. I also have sent it to many of my friends and they all use it! Thanks!
