Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1.5 tablespoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1.75 cups Whole milk
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- as needed Cooking spray or oil
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until thoroughly combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, eggs, 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 as this can result in dense pancakes or waffles. The batter will have some lumps, which is normal.
If making pancakes: Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly coat with cooking spray or oil. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake, spacing them apart. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the bottoms are golden brown. Flip and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes. Repeat with the remaining batter.
If making waffles: Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions and lightly grease with cooking spray or oil. Pour an appropriate amount of batter onto the center of the waffle iron (based on the size of your waffle maker) and close the lid. Cook until the waffles are golden brown and crisp, typically 4-5 minutes. Repeat with the remaining batter.
Serve the pancakes or waffles warm with your choice of toppings such as maple syrup, butter, fresh fruits, whipped cream, or nuts.
