Best Fluffy Pancakes Delight (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

01 - 2 cups all-purpose or plain flour
02 - 1/4 cup granulated sugar or sweetener
03 - 4 teaspoons baking powder
04 - 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
05 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
06 - 1 3/4 cups milk
07 - 1/4 cup butter
08 - 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
09 - 1 large egg

# Instructions:

01 - Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl.
02 - Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add milk, melted butter, vanilla, and egg. Whisk the wet ingredients together first, then gradually incorporate the dry ingredients until smooth. The batter should be thick; if it's too thick, add small amounts of milk until desired consistency is achieved.
03 - Set the batter aside to rest while preheating your pan or griddle.
04 - Heat a nonstick pan or griddle over low-medium heat and lightly grease with butter. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the pan and spread into a round shape. Cook until the underside is golden and bubbles appear on the surface, then flip and cook until golden on the other side. Repeat with the remaining batter.
05 - Serve the pancakes with honey, maple syrup, fruit, ice cream, frozen yogurt, or enjoy plain.

# Notes:

01 - For fluffier pancakes, add a small amount of baking soda, but omit it if sensitive to the taste. If using self-raising flour, omit the baking soda and reduce baking powder to 1 teaspoon per cup of flour.
02 - Use a measuring cup for equal-sized pancakes. 1/4 or 1/3 cup measurements work well for each pancake.
03 - For Australian readers, self-raising flour can be used as a substitute for plain flour.
