Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1.25 cups whole milk
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil or additional butter, for cooking
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and granulated sugar. Whisk together to ensure the ingredients are well incorporated.
In another bowl, beat the eggs until they are frothy, then add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Whisk the wet ingredients together until well combined.
Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour the wet mixture into it. Carefully fold the ingredients together using a spatula, until no dry streaks remain. Be cautious not to overmix; a few lumps are fine.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly coat the surface with vegetable oil or butter.
Pour approximately 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until the edges look set and bubbles begin to form in the center, about 2-3 minutes.
Flip the pancakes and cook the other side until golden brown, another 1-2 minutes.
Transfer the cooked pancakes to a warm platter and cover loosely with foil to keep them warm while you cook the remaining batter.
Serve the pancakes warm, topped with your choice of fresh berries, a sprinkle of powdered sugar, and a drizzle of maple syrup.
