A simple, comforting, and reliably fluffy pancake recipe perfect for a cozy Father’s Day breakfast in bed or any special morning. Light, buttery, and just sweet enough, these pancakes are quick and easy to make.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup (180ml) buttermilk (or ¾ cup milk + 1 tablespoon lemon juice/vinegar)
  • 1 large egg, separated
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted + extra for the pan
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • Maple syrup or honey (for serving)
  • Fresh berries or sliced bananas (optional, for serving)
  • Powdered sugar for dusting (optional, for serving)

Instructions

  1. Separate the egg white and yolk into two bowls. Melt the butter and set aside to cool slightly. Measure out the dry ingredients and buttermilk so everything’s ready.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolk with the buttermilk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth. Pour this mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently just until moistened. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
  4. Using a clean whisk or electric mixer, beat the egg white until stiff peaks form.
  5. Carefully fold the whipped egg whites into the batter using a spatula, gently to keep the air bubbles intact.
  6. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and brush lightly with butter. Wait until hot but not smoking.
  7. Pour about ¼ cup (60ml) of batter per pancake onto the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes until small bubbles appear on the surface and edges look set. Flip carefully and cook another 1-2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
  8. Transfer cooked pancakes to a warm plate or oven set to low heat. Serve immediately with maple syrup, fresh fruit, or your favorite toppings.

Notes

Whip egg whites well for extra fluffiness. Do not overmix batter to avoid toughness. Use medium heat to prevent burning. Let batter rest 5-10 minutes before cooking. Keep cooked pancakes warm in a low oven. Flip pancakes only once for best texture.
