Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based such as almond or oat)
  • 1 tablespoon vinegar or lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil or melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Sifting helps prevent lumps and aerates the dry mix, which is key to fluffiness.
  2. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the milk with the vinegar or lemon juice and vanilla extract. Let this mixture sit for about 5 minutes to curdle slightly — this mimics buttermilk and helps the pancakes rise beautifully.
  3. Mix Wet and Dry Together: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold them together. Add the vegetable oil or melted butter and combine just until no dry flour patches remain; be careful not to overmix, as that can make the pancakes tough instead of airy.
  4. Cook on a Hot Griddle or Pan: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it. Pour small rounds of batter onto the surface, cooking until bubbles form on top and edges look set, then flip and cook another 1-2 minutes until golden.
  5. Serve Warm and Enjoy: Stack your pancakes high and get ready to enjoy that perfect, eggless fluffy goodness with your favorite toppings.

Notes

  • Ensure your baking powder is fresh for maximum rise and fluffiness.
  • Stir gently and just enough to combine to keep the batter light; do not overmix.
  • Let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes to allow leavening gases to form for fluffier pancakes.
  • Cook pancakes on medium heat to avoid burning the outside while leaving the inside raw.
  • Use a measuring cup to pour consistent sized pancakes for even cooking.
