Sky-high pancakes with golden edges, a melt-in-your-mouth crumb, and endless topping possibilities – the ultimate morning comfort.

Ingredients

  • Dry Ingredients
  • 1 ½ cups (180g) all-purpose flour (or GF flour)

  • 3 ½ tsp baking powder

  • 1 tbsp white sugar

  • ¼ tsp salt

  • Wet Ingredients
  • 1 ¼ cups (300ml) whole milk (or plant-based milk)

  • 3 tbsp (45g) melted butter (or coconut oil)

  • 1 large egg

Directions

  • Whisk the Dream Base
  • Sift flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt into a bowl. Create a well; pour in milk, butter, and egg. Gently whisk until just combined (small lumps are okay!).
  • Heat the Stage
  • Warm a non-stick griddle over medium-high. Test with a water droplet – it should sizzle. Lightly grease with butter.
  • Pour & Cook

  • Serve Warm
  • Keep pancakes stacked under a towel. Top with syrup, berries, or whipped cream.

Notes

  • Pro Tips 🔥
    Don’t Overmix: Lumpy batter = fluffier pancakes.
    Buttermilk Twist: Swap milk for buttermilk + ¼ tsp baking soda for tangy depth.
    Fun Shapes: Use cookie cutters on the griddle for kid-friendly hearts or stars.
