This recipe makes the best fluffy pancakes I’ve ever made, and I’ve spent years tweaking it for the perfect flavor and texture. I’ve increased the butter and vanilla slightly (feel free to use less, but I promise the quantities below make these pancakes taste amazing). I use unsalted butter in this recipe, but salted is perfectly fine. If you use salted butter, consider reducing the salt by 1/8 teaspoon. When measuring the flour for these pancakes, either weigh it or use the “spoon and level” method: Fluff the flour, spoon it into the measuring cup, and level off the top with a flat edge. You can see me do this in our video!

Instructions

Step 1

Melt the butter and set it aside. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, whisk together milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract. (Don’t worry if the butter solidifies slightly).

Step 3

Create a well in the center of your dry ingredients. Pour in the milk mixture and stir gently with a fork until the flour is just incorporated. A few small lumps are okay. As the batter sits, it should start to bubble.

Step 4

Place a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Sprinkle in a few drops of water to test if it’s ready. You want them to dance around a bit and evaporate.

Step 5

Brush the skillet with melted butter (this creates crispy edges, but you can skip it if using a quality nonstick pan).

Step 6

Scoop the batter onto the skillet using a 1/4 cup measure or large cookie scoop, and spread each pancake into a 4-inch circle.

Step 7

After 1 to 2 minutes, the edges will look dry, and bubbles will form and pop on the surface. Flip the pancakes and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes until lightly browned and cooked in the middle.

Step 8

Serve immediately with warm syrup, butter, and berries.
