These fluffy pancakes made with self-rising flour are quick and easy to prepare, making them perfect for a delightful breakfast or brunch. Enjoy them with your favorite toppings!

Ingredients

• 1 cup self-rising flour
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 cup milk (whole or 2%)
• 1 large egg
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (plus extra for cooking)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
• Pinch of salt (optional)
• Maple syrup, fresh fruit, or whipped cream for serving

Instructions

1. Prepare the Batter:

   • In a large mixing bowl, combine the self-rising flour and granulated sugar. Whisk together until well blended.
   • In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract (if using) until smooth.
     

2. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:

   • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently stir with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay. If desired, add a pinch of salt for extra flavor.
     

3. Preheat the Pan:

   • Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add a small amount of butter to coat the surface. Allow the butter to melt and bubble, but not brown.
     

4. Cook the Pancakes:

   • Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
   • Carefully flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
     

5. Serve:

   • Remove the pancakes from the skillet and keep warm in a low oven (about 200°F) while you cook the remaining batter.
   • Serve the pancakes warm with maple syrup, fresh fruit, or whipped cream as desired.
     

Tips

• For extra fluffy pancakes, let the batter rest for about 5-10 minutes before cooking.
• You can add mix-ins like chocolate chips, blueberries, or nuts to the batter for added flavor.
• Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in the microwave or toaster.

Enjoy your delicious, fluffy pancakes!
