Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.25 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 2 Eggs
- 0.75 cups Whole milk
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoons Vegetable oil or butter (for greasing the pan)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In a separate medium-sized bowl, beat the eggs until frothy. Add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract to the eggs and whisk together until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. The batter should be slightly lumpy—do not overmix.
Heat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with vegetable oil or butter.
Using a 1/4-cup measuring cup, pour batter onto the skillet to form pancakes, spacing them apart to avoid overcrowding.
Cook the pancakes for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip the pancakes gently and cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown on both sides.
Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate and cover loosely with foil to keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the pan as needed between batches.
Serve warm with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, powdered sugar, fresh fruit, or whipped cream.
