Here’s a detailed, reliable Sunday morning Pancakes recipe—soft, fluffy, and easy to make from scratch.
🥞 Classic Sunday Morning Pancakes (Fluffy & Golden)
🧾 Ingredients (serves 2–3)
Dry ingredients:
- 1½ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp salt
Wet ingredients:
- 1¼ cups milk (room temperature)
- 1 large egg
- 3 tbsp melted butter (plus more for cooking)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional but recommended)
👨🍳 Step-by-step Method
1. Mix dry ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together:
- flour
- sugar
- baking powder
- baking soda
- salt
This ensures even rising and fluffy pancakes.
2. Mix wet ingredients
In another bowl, whisk:
- milk
- egg
- melted butter
- vanilla extract
Make sure the butter isn’t too hot or it may cook the egg.
3. Combine (don’t overmix!)
Pour wet mixture into dry ingredients.
Stir gently with a spatula until just combined:
- batter should be slightly lumpy
- don’t overmix (this is key for fluffiness)
Let it rest for 5–10 minutes.
4. Heat the pan
- Use a non-stick pan or griddle
- Medium-low heat works best
- Lightly grease with butter or oil
If the pan is too hot, pancakes will burn outside and stay raw inside.
5. Cook pancakes
Pour about ¼ cup batter per pancake.
Cook:
- 2–3 minutes until bubbles form on top
- flip gently
- cook another 1–2 minutes until golden
6. Serve warm
Stack pancakes and serve immediately.
🍯 Topping ideas (classic Sunday style)
- Maple syrup or honey

- Yogurt + fruit combo for a lighter option
