Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 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 sauce)

How to Make Fluffy Pancakes with Creamy Sauce
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- In another bowl, mix the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with a bit of butter or cooking spray.
- Pour 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook for another 2 minutes, or until golden brown. Repeat with the remaining batter.
- For the creamy sauce, whip the heavy cream with the powdered sugar until soft peaks form.
- Stack the pancakes on a plate, drizzle with the creamy sauce, and garnish with fresh herbs.
Tips for the Best Results
- Ensure your baking powder is fresh for maximum fluffiness.
- Don’t overmix the batter; it should be lumpy for the best texture.
- Keep pancakes warm in a low oven while you cook the rest.
- Experiment with different herbs for unique flavor profiles.
Easy Variations
- Add chocolate chips or blueberries to the batter for extra sweetness.
- Replace half the milk with buttermilk for a tangy twist.
- Incorporate spices like cinnamon or nutmeg for added warmth.
- Use flavored whipped cream or yogurt as a topping instead of the heavy cream sauce.
What to Serve With It
- Fresh fruit like berries or banana slices.
- Crispy bacon or sausage for a savory balance.
- Maple syrup or honey drizzled on top.
- A side of yogurt for extra creaminess.
