Sugar: 1-2 tbsp. of either white or brown powdered sugar. Though the use of brown sugar will make the pancakes a little bit moist and darker in color.
Salt: This is important! It helps in bringing out the sweetness of the sugar a bit more, and also helps in keeping everything together. Use ½ a teaspoon of salt.
Baking Powder: Use 3-4 teaspoons for the batch. This is where those light, tall and fluffy pancakes come from – again sift this (there is nothing worse than a mouthful of baking powder.
Milk: 300-330ml of milk will do the job to bind the ingredients together. You can also use almond/soy milk as per your liking.
Melted Butter: 60g of melted and cooled butter will give you the rich and decadent flavor to your pancakes. Just remember to off-set the salt in similar proportions if you are using salted butter. Extra butter for frying.
Eggs- 1 large egg (or two small ones) for adding a structure/extra fluffiness to your pancakes.
Vanilla Extract/any other flavor of your choice: The addition of ½ teaspoon vanilla extract will give your pancakes a tad bit of sweetness as well as depth of flavor. You can try almond extract which is also pretty delicious
