An American household classic that can elevate any morning into an enjoyable one is pancakes. Pancakes can be thick and filling or fluffy and airy, depending on your preference. They can be salty, sweet, or any combination of the two! This recipe guide will help you create the tastiest pancakes for your morning meal table, including a few changes that will fulfill all of your cravings.

Traditional Fluffy Pancakes

Perfectly brown on the exterior and delicate and airy on the inside, these homemade pancakes are the epitome of fluffy perfection. It is as simple and traditional a pancake recipe can get, and it does not get any easier than that. It is incredibly delicious, delightfully fluffy, moist, and soft without being overly sugary.

Ingredients: - One cup of all-purpose flour
- Two tablespoons of sugar
- Baking powder, 1 tablespoon
- Half a teaspoon of salt
- One cup of milk
- One large egg
- Two tablespoons melted butter
- One teaspoon of vanilla extract

Instructions: 1. Mix the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt in a big bowl.
2. In a separate bowl, beat the egg before adding the milk, melted butter, and vanilla essence.
3. You want your batter to be light and fluffy, so don't overmix it; merely mix it until the majority of the large lumps are gone.
4. Before you begin cooking your pancakes, make sure that the griddle or skillet you are using is hot.
5. After preheating it over medium heat, reduce the heat to low-medium heat and wait a few minutes before adding the butter and starting to cook the pancakes.
6. The ideal cooking temperature for pancakes is medium-low heat, not high. Hold off on flipping until the bubbles begin to develop on top.
7. Serve them piping hot with maple syrup and whipped cream! You can also serve them with blueberries, strawberries, and any other fresh fruits of your choice.

These pancakes are also perfect for those days where you don’t have a lot of time on your hands and you just wish for simple breakfast recipes for those hectic mornings.

Banana Pancakes

Those who enjoy some fruit in their morning adore banana pancakes because of their naturally sweet flavour. These banana pancakes have about as good of a nutritional value as pancakes can have. Compared to the other recipes, they have slightly more protein and a lot fewer carbohydrates.

Things to Note

- You can use any kind of flour you want for these pancakes; it can be the most commonly used all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, oat flour, or buckwheat flour. If you want to make them gluten-free, buckwheat or oat flour is the way to go. It is important to note though, that buckwheat flour has a somewhat distinctive flavour. Oat flour is comparatively subtle in taste.
- A pinch of salt is necessary to add a certain depth to this recipe of pancakes. It might not be detectable when you taste the pancake, but you will definitely feel like something is missing if you leave it out.
- Overripe bananas are the best for making banana pancakes, just as they are the best when you make banana bread. They ideally should have a few brown spots. They impart a richer and sweeter flavour to the pancakes which also allows you to avoid sugar if you wish to.

Ingredients: - 2–3 medium-to-large overripe bananas
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup flour
- A pinch of salt
- 1 tablespoon white sugar (optional)
- 2 teaspoons baking powder (optional)
- 1 cup milk
- Butter or vegetable oil (for cooking)

Instructions: 1. Using a large fork, mash the banana in a medium mixing bowl until it is glossy and relatively smooth. Whisk the eggs into the banana until they are evenly mixed.
2. In a bowl, mix together flour, baking powder, white sugar, and salt. In a second bowl, combine the banana–egg mixture with the milk, and the vegetable oil. The batter will be slightly lumpy after stirring the flour component into the banana mixture.
3. Heat a frying pan or griddle that has been lightly greased over medium-high heat. Using about a quarter of a cup for each pancake, ladle or spoon the batter onto the griddle.
4. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes on each side, or until pancakes are golden brown. Plate up and serve hot with any toppings that you would like to incorporate.

Blueberry Pancakes

These pancakes are a hit with everyone because of their fruity flavour and the burst of colour that comes from the fresh blueberries. They are also high in antioxidants and a pretty fulfilling meal in themselves.

Ingredients: - One cup of all-purpose flour
- Two tablespoons of sugar
- ½ tablespoon of baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon of salt
- One cup of milk
- One large egg
- Two tablespoons melted butter
- Half a cup of frozen or fresh blueberries

Instructions: ● In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. In a small bowl, combine the egg and milk. Stir the egg mixture into the flour mixture just until they are somewhat mixed. Fold in blueberries after stirring in melted butter. Give it a full hour.
● Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle that has been lightly greased over medium-high heat.
● Use about 1/4 cup of batter per pancake when pouring or scooping the batter onto the heated griddle.
● Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then turn and continue cooking until both sides are golden brown. Have them warm with fresh blueberries and maple syrup!
