To achieve the perfect Fluffy Morning Delight Pancakes, the first step is to meticulously mix the wet ingredients. Start by cracking two large eggs into a mixing bowl. Whisk them thoroughly until they are well-blended and slightly frothy. This aeration is key to creating a light texture in your pancakes. Next, pour in one cup of milk—whole milk adds creaminess, while buttermilk can enhance the flavor and tenderness. Add a quarter cup of melted butter (cooled to room temperature) and a teaspoon of pure vanilla extract. The butter not only contributes to flavor but also helps keep the pancakes moist. Whisk all of these ingredients together until you have a smooth mixture, ensuring that the egg is fully integrated, and there are no lumps of butter remaining.

Ingredients
  

1 cup all-purpose flour

2 tablespoons sugar

1 tablespoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 large egg

1 cup milk (whole or buttermilk for extra fluffiness)

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (plus extra for cooking)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Maple syrup, for serving

Fresh berries or sliced bananas (optional for topping)

Instructions
 

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.

    In a separate bowl, beat the egg and then mix in the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well blended.

      Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold together until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay. Let the batter sit for about 5 minutes.

        Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add a small amount of butter and allow it to melt and coat the surface.

          Using a ladle or measuring cup, pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.

            Flip the pancakes carefully with a spatula and cook on the other side until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes more. Keep the cooked pancakes warm in a low oven while you repeat with the remaining batter.

              Serve the pancakes topped with warm maple syrup and an optional sprinkle of fresh berries or sliced bananas.
