Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 2 tablespoons White granulated sugar
- 1.25 cups Whole milk
- 2 units Large eggs
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil or additional melted butter (for cooking)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar until thoroughly combined.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk the milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well blended.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; lumps in the batter are perfectly fine and help make the pancakes lighter.
Let the batter rest for 5 minutes to allow the baking powder to activate, which results in a fluffier texture.
Heat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with vegetable oil or melted butter.
Using a ladle or 1/4 cup measuring cup, pour portions of the batter onto the skillet, leaving some space between each pancake.
Cook the pancakes for about 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles start to form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip the pancakes carefully with a spatula and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown on both sides.
Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate and cover loosely with a clean kitchen towel to keep warm while you cook the remaining batter.
Serve the pancakes warm, stacked high, and topped with your favorite additions like fresh fruit, maple syrup, powdered sugar, or whipped cream.
