Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup milk
• 1 large egg
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 1 tablespoon powdered sugar (for the drizzle)
• Optional: fresh berries or maple syrup for serving

How to Make Fluffy Pancakes with Creamy Sauce

1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
2. In another bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay for fluffy pancakes.
4. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with cooking spray or butter.
5. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes, then flip and cook for an additional 2 minutes, or until golden brown.
6. While the pancakes are cooking, prepare the creamy drizzle. In a small bowl, whisk together the heavy cream and powdered sugar until slightly thickened.
7. Once the pancakes are cooked, stack them on a plate and drizzle the creamy sauce over the top.
8. Serve immediately with fresh berries or maple syrup if desired.

Tips for the Best Results

• For extra fluffy pancakes, let the batter rest for about 5 minutes before cooking.
• Ensure your skillet is properly heated before adding the batter to prevent sticking and to achieve a golden color.
• If you prefer a thicker drizzle, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form before adding the powdered sugar.

Easy Variations

• Add chocolate chips or blueberries to the batter for a delicious twist.
• Substitute almond milk or oat milk for a dairy-free version.
• Spice it up with a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg in the batter for added warmth.

What to Serve With It

• Fresh fruit like strawberries, bananas, or blueberries.
• A side of crispy bacon or sausage for a savory contrast.
• A dollop of yogurt or a sprinkle of nuts for added texture.
