Fluffy golden pancakes with a soft, melt-in-your-mouth texture. Simple steps for breakfast any time.

# What You'll Need:

→ Dry Ingredients

01 - 250 g plain (all-purpose) flour
02 - 2 teaspoons baking powder
03 - 1/2 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda (baking soda)
04 - 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
05 - 2 tablespoons granulated sugar

→ Wet Ingredients

06 - 2 large eggs
07 - 240 ml whole milk
08 - 60 g unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly
09 - 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

→ For Cooking

10 - Unsalted butter, for greasing the pan

→ To Serve

11 - Pure maple syrup

# Steps to Follow:

01 - In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda, salt, and sugar.
02 - In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs with milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well blended.
03 - Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and whisk gently just until smooth. Do not overmix; a few small lumps are acceptable.
04 - Heat a non-stick frying pan or griddle over medium heat. Once hot, reduce to low-medium, lightly grease with a small amount of butter, and wipe away excess with a paper towel.
05 - Using a 60 ml (1/4 cup) measure, pour batter into the centre of the pan, allowing it to spread into a round shape.
06 - Let pancakes cook gently until bubbles form on the surface and edges are slightly set. Flip with a spatula and cook until golden brown on both sides.
07 - Serve pancakes hot, stacked, and drizzled with pure maple syrup.

# Extra Suggestions:

01 - For maximum fluffiness, avoid overmixing the batter and allow it to rest for 5 minutes before cooking.
02 - Cook pancakes over moderate heat to ensure they are cooked through without burning.
