Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1.25 cups whole milk
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- nonstick cooking spray or butter (for greasing the pan)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar until well combined.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing; it's okay if the batter has a few lumps.
Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with nonstick cooking spray or a small amount of butter.
Using a 1/4-cup measuring cup, pour batter onto the hot skillet to form individual cakes. Leave enough space between cakes for easy flipping.
Cook the flannel cakes for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown.
Remove cooked flannel cakes to a plate and cover loosely with foil to keep warm while cooking the remaining batter.
Serve warm with toppings of your choice, such as maple syrup, fresh berries, whipped cream, or a dusting of powdered sugar.
