pancakes*! Here is a simple and tasty recipe to prepare soft and delicious pancakes, :

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Dry Ingredients In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. These dry ingredients will give your pancakes their fluffy texture and sweet flavor.
2. Mix the Wet Ingredients In a separate bowl, crack the egg and whisk it gently. Add the milk, melted butter (or oil), and vanilla extract if you’re using it. Stir everything together until well combined.
3. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Use a spatula or spoon to gently mix them together. Be careful not to over-mix! It’s okay if the batter is a little lumpy—this will ensure your pancakes are light and fluffy.
4. Heat the Pan Place a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Once the pan is hot, add a small amount of butter or oil to coat the surface. This will prevent the pancakes from sticking and give them a golden-brown finish.
5. Cook the Pancakes Pour about 1/4 cup of pancake batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Allow the batter to spread out into a circle. Cook the pancakes for about 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface. When the edges start to look set, flip the pancakes carefully and cook for another 1-2 minutes on the other side, or until golden brown.
6. Serve and Enjoy Remove the pancakes from the skillet and place them on a plate. You can stack them up as high as you like! Serve your pancakes with a drizzle of maple syrup, a handful of fresh berries, or a dollop of whipped cream—whatever you love on your pancakes.

Tips for Perfect Pancakes:

• Don’t overmix: Lumpy batter is perfectly fine. Overmixing can result in tough pancakes.
• Use a moderate heat: Cooking on too high heat can burn the pancakes before they cook through. Medium heat is perfect for even cooking.
• Keep them warm: If you’re making a large batch, keep the pancakes warm in the oven (set to 200°F) until ready to serve.

These pancakes are incredibly versatile! You can easily customize them by adding chocolate chips, mashed bananas, or even a dash of cinnamon to the batter. No matter how you enjoy them, they’re sure to be a hit!

Enjoy your soft and delicious pancakes, and have a wonderful breakfast!
