What Ingredients do you need to make fluffy pancakes
What are the main ingredients needed to make your American pancakes? Your list of ingredients will depend on your preferred flavors and other considerations. You will need the ingredients on the list below. For amounts see the attached recipe here below.
- All-purpose flour. Use plain, all-purpose flour for the American pancake recipe. Alternatively, you can use a whole wheat flour type. Others also prefer a combination of both for various health reasons. If you are gluten intolerant, use the buckwheat flour.
- Baking powder. You need a leavening agent to make your pancakes rise, light and fluffy. If you skip it or an expired baking powder that is old beyond its expiry date, you will get flat cakes.
- Sugar. You will need a sweetener and well-textured batter for nice fluffy pancakes. You can use granulated sugar, coconut sugar, or brown sugar. In case of health reasons, you can omit the sugar in your recipe.
- Salt. The right amount of salt will enhance the flavor and tenderness of your American fluffy pancakes. If some of your ingredients are salted use lesser amounts of table salt.
- Milk. You can use a range of various dairy products with this recipe. Whether you decide to use whole milk, reduced fat milk, buttermilk, or skimmed milk. Some chefs have even reported using yogurt and orange juice. If you prefer vegetarian pancakes free of dairy products, you can use almond or oat milk.
- Melted butter (or vegetable oil). The use of unsalted butter will make your pancakes great for that subtle nutty flavor. Vegetable oils that are neutral in taste are the next best option. These include the canola oil or sunflower oil.
- Egg. Do you want your fluffy pancakes moist and tender? Use an egg to get those results. The eggs will give your pancake the required flavor, structure, and required fluffiness.
- Extracts. Which is your favorite flavor you would love for a sweet taste on your buds? You can either vanilla or almonds. Other variations of getting the desired taste are using zest or spices such as cinnamon, nutmeg, or flax seeds and oats.

1 cup (120g) all-purpose flour
2 Tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 pinch of salt
1 cup (240 ml) milk
2 Tablespoons melted butter or vegetable oil
1 large egg
Assorting toppings such as maple syrup, fresh berries, etc.
Directions
- Mix the flour, baking powder and a pinch of salt together in a large bowl.
- Create a well in the centre with the back of your spoon then add the eggs, melted butter and milk. Whisk together either with a balloon whisk or electric hand beaters until smooth then pour into a jug.
- Heat a small knob of butter and 1 tsp of oil in a large, non-stick frying pan over a medium heat. When the butter looks frothy pour in rounds of the batter, approximately 8cm wide. Make sure you don’t put the pancakes too close together as they will spread during cooking.
- Cook the pancakes on their first side for about 1-2 mins or until lots of tiny bubbles start to appear and pop on the surface. Flip the pancakes over and cook for a further minute on the other side until golden. Repeat until all the batter is used up.
- Serve your pancakes stacked up on a plate with a drizzle of maple syrup and any of your favorite toppings such as cooked bacon, chocolate chips, blueberries or peanut butter and jam
