Making these pancakes is as fun as it is rewarding. The batter comes together quickly, and before you know it, you’ll have a stack of golden pancakes ready to enjoy. Here’s a simple way to get it done:

1. Mix the wet ingredients. In a bowl, whisk together the egg, sugar, milk, oil, salt, and vanilla extract until the sugar dissolves and everything is well combined.

2. Add the dry ingredients. Stir in the flour and baking powder. Mix until you have a smooth batter, a few small lumps are perfectly fine.

3. Cook the pancakes. Heat a pan over medium flame and lightly grease it with oil. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the center and spread it gently into a circle.

4. Flip and finish. Cook for 3–4 minutes until bubbles appear on top and the edges look dry. Flip carefully and cook for another 2 minutes until golden brown.

5. Serve and enjoy. Stack them up on a plate and add your favorite toppings like honey, maple syrup, butter, or fresh berries.

Tips & Variations

If you want extra fluffiness, let the batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking.
Add chocolate chips, blueberries, or chopped nuts into the batter for fun variations.
Swap vanilla extract with cinnamon or nutmeg for a cozy flavor twist.

Serving & Storage Suggestions

Serve your pancakes hot, stacked high with butter and syrup. They’re also amazing with a handful of fresh fruit or a drizzle of honey.

If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. To reheat, just warm them on a pan or in the microwave for a few seconds until soft again.
