Fluffy Self-Rising Flour Pancakes

These fluffy pancakes made with self-rising flour are quick and easy to whip up for a delightful breakfast. Perfectly light and airy, they are sure to please everyone at the table!

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)
• Maple syrup, for serving
• Fresh fruit or berries, for serving (optional)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Batter

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the self-rising flour and granulated sugar. Whisk together until well blended.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract (if using) until smooth.
3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.

Step 2: Heat the Griddle

4. Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. To test if it’s ready, sprinkle a few drops of water on the surface; if they sizzle and evaporate, the griddle is hot enough.
5. Add a small amount of butter to the skillet, allowing it to melt and coat the surface.

Step 3: Cook the Pancakes

6. 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.
7. Carefully flip the pancakes using a spatula and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 4: Serve

8. Remove the pancakes from the skillet and keep warm in a low oven (about 200°F) while you cook the remaining batter.
9. Serve the pancakes warm with maple syrup and your choice of fresh fruit or berries.

Tips

• For extra flavor, consider adding chocolate chips or blueberries to the batter before cooking.
• If you prefer thicker pancakes, let the batter sit for a few minutes before cooking to allow it to thicken slightly.

Enjoy your delicious, fluffy pancakes made with self-rising flour! Perfect for a cozy breakfast or brunch.
