Who doesn’t love fluffy pancakes? This quick and easy dessert is perfect for treating your taste buds on a Sunday evening. Cooking these pancakes is a fun activity, ideal for spending time with family or enjoying a moment of relaxation in the kitchen. Let’s get started!

### Ingredients

- 250 g flour
- 5 tablespoons sugar
- 1 packet baking powder (about 10 g)
- A pinch of salt
- 50 g butter (melted and slightly cooled)
- 250 ml milk (ideally at room temperature)
- 2 medium eggs

### Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preparing the dry ingredients
In a large bowl, sift the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Sifting the flour helps aerate it, making the pancakes fluffier. Mix these dry ingredients with a whisk to ensure they are well combined.

2. Mixing the wet ingredients
In another bowl, whisk the eggs until frothy. Add the milk and melted butter, mixing well. Make sure the butter is not hot, so it doesn’t cook the eggs.

3. Combining the ingredients
Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients. Using a spatula or whisk, gently mix until the ingredients are combined. It’s important not to overmix; a few lumps in the batter are acceptable. Overmixed batter can lead to less fluffy pancakes.

4. Cooking the pancakes
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Grease the skillet with a little butter or oil to prevent sticking. Using a ladle, pour a portion of batter into the skillet, forming the pancake. Wait a few minutes until small bubbles appear on the surface of the pancake, signaling it’s time to flip. Cook the other side for about 1-2 minutes until golden.

5. Serving the pancakes
Once all the pancakes are ready, you can serve them warm with delicious toppings. I recommend serving them with chocolate cream, fruit jam, or whipped cream. An interesting variation would be to add fresh fruits, such as banana slices or strawberries, for an extra burst of flavor and freshness.

### Practical Tips

- Ingredient variations: You can experiment with different types of flour, such as whole wheat or oat flour, for a healthier option. You can also add vanilla extract or cinnamon to the batter to enhance the flavor.
- Finding the perfect consistency: If you prefer thinner pancakes, you can add a little more milk. Conversely, for thicker and fluffier pancakes, ensure the batter is denser.
- Creative toppings: Try adding nuts, chocolate chips, or even a sweet cheese filling for a savory option.

So now that you know how to make fluffy pancakes, all that’s left is to enjoy them with your loved ones. Enjoy your meal!
