Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 1.5 cups milk
- 2 large eggs
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- nonstick cooking spray or additional butter (for cooking)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk the milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are perfectly fine.
Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with nonstick cooking spray or a small amount of butter.
Using a 1/4 cup measure, scoop the batter onto the skillet to form pancakes, spacing them apart to allow for spreading.
Cook the pancakes for about 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip them carefully with a spatula and cook for another 2 minutes, or until golden brown.
Repeat with the remaining batter, ensuring the skillet remains lightly greased as needed.
Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, fresh fruit, whipped cream, or a dusting of powdered sugar.
