Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 ½ cups milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • butter or oil for cooking Use for greasing the skillet or griddle.

Equipment

  • 1 mixing bowl
  • 1 whisk
  • 1 measuring cups and spoons
  • 1 nonstick skillet or griddle
  • 1 spatula
  • 1 ladle or measuring cup for pouring batter

Method
 

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Whisk to blend.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well mixed.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Whisk gently until just combined; do not overmix. The batter should be slightly lumpy.
  4. Heat the skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or oil.
  5. Pour about ¼ cup (60 ml) of batter per pancake onto the skillet.
  6. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and edges start to look set, about 2 minutes.
  7. Flip with a spatula and cook for another 1-2 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through.
  8. Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the pan as needed.
  9. Serve hot with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, fruit, or yogurt.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to ensure fluffy pancakes.
For extra flavor, add a pinch of cinnamon to the dry ingredients.
To keep pancakes warm, place them on a baking sheet in a 200°F (95°C) oven while you finish cooking the batch.
