These homemade fluffy pancakes are soft, light, and made with simple pantry staples—no buttermilk or bicarb soda needed. Quick to mix, perfectly golden, and stackable, they’re the ultimate weekend breakfast treat that everyone will love.
In a large bowl, whisk together the plain flour, baking powder, and caster sugar.
Add milk, egg and vanilla extract in the dry ingredients. Gently whisk until just combined; a few lumps are fine. Do not overmix.
Heat a non-stick frying pan or griddle over medium heat. Once hot, reduce to low-medium and lightly grease with unsalted butter.
Scoop about ¼ cup of batter per pancake (or use an ice cream scoop) and pour onto the pan. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set (about 1–2 minutes).
Carefully flip each pancake and cook for another 1–2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
Stack pancakes high and add your favourite toppings such as maple syrup, fresh berries, or a dusting of icing sugar.
