Fluffy Delight: The Easiest Pancake Recipe with a Citrus Twist

Fluffy Pancakes Recipe

Step 1: Combine Dry Ingredients

In a bowl, combine 2 cups all-purpose flour, 3 tablespoons sugar, 4 tablespoons baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, and a pinch of salt. Whisk them together until well mixed.

Step 2: Add Wet Ingredients

Add 2 large eggs, 1/4 cup neutral oil, 1 1/2 cups milk, and a splash of vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Stir until just barely combined; it's okay to have a few clumps.

Step 3: Rest the Batter

Let the batter rest for 10 minutes.

Step 4: Prepare the Pan

While the batter rests, melt some butter in a pan over medium-low heat and wipe most of it away before adding in your test batter. Adjust the temperature as needed.

Step 5: Cook the Pancakes

Cook your first real pancake. You'll know it's time to flip when the bubbles pop and stay open.

Step 6: Finish and Serve

Finish your pancakes with orange or lemon zest for added flavor. Enjoy your delicious fluffy pancakes!
