A simple, kid-friendly fluffy pancake recipe perfect for Father’s Day breakfast that is quick, easy, and delicious. Designed for little hands to help and create joyful kitchen memories.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 ¼ cups milk (whole milk recommended, almond milk as dairy-free option)
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten, room temperature
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, plus extra for the pan
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

  1. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 3 ½ teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 tablespoon sugar.
  2. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk 1 ¼ cups milk, 1 large egg, 3 tablespoons melted butter, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (if using).
  3. Make the Batter: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mix and gently stir with a whisk or fork. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
  4. Preheat the Pan: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat for about 3-4 minutes. Test by sprinkling a few drops of water; they should dance and evaporate quickly.
  5. Cook the Pancakes: Lightly butter the pan. Use a ladle or ¼ cup measuring cup to pour batter onto the hot skillet. Cook until bubbles appear on the surface and edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip carefully and cook the other side for another 2 minutes until golden brown.
  6. Keep Warm: Place cooked pancakes on a plate and cover loosely with foil to keep warm while cooking remaining batter.
  7. Serve & Enjoy: Stack pancakes on a plate, add butter and syrup, or any toppings you love.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to keep pancakes light and fluffy. Use room temperature eggs and milk for better batter consistency. Keep the pan at medium heat to avoid burning. Flip pancakes only once when bubbles form and edges look dry. Keep cooked pancakes warm in a low oven (200°F) or covered with foil. For dairy-free, use almond milk and coconut oil instead of butter. Gluten-free flour can be substituted but may require extra milk.
