Treat your family to a stack of warm, golden pancakes that taste straight out of your favorite diner—only better!
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and granulated sugar until well combined.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the honey, eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, folding gently with a spatula. Mix just until combined; do not overmix. The batter should have a few small lumps to ensure the pancakes remain fluffy.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease it with vegetable oil or a small amount of butter.
Using a ladle or 1/4-cup measuring cup, pour the batter onto the skillet, forming pancakes. Cook each pancake for 2-3 minutes, until bubbles form on the surface and the edges begin to set.
Flip the pancakes using a spatula and cook on the other side for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate, and cover with a clean kitchen towel to keep warm while preparing the remaining batter.
Serve warm with an extra drizzle of honey, a pat of butter, fresh fruit, or your favorite toppings. Enjoy your restaurant-style fluffy honey pancakes!
