Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 2 cups All purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons Baking powder for the lift
  • 2 tablespoons Sugar just enough to warm up the flavor
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
Wet Ingredients
  • 1 and 3/4 cups Milk any kind works
  • 2 Eggs
  • 4 tablespoons Melted butter plus extra for the pan
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla optional but very nice

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Mix flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt in a big bowl.
  2. In another bowl, whisk milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla.
  3. Pour wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until there are no dry flour spots. Small lumps are okay.
  4. Let the batter rest for 5 to 10 minutes while you warm your pan on medium heat.
Cooking
  1. Lightly butter the pan, scoop batter onto the pan, and cook until bubbles appear and edges look set.
  2. Flip the pancake and cook the other side until golden.

Notes

For added flavor, serve pancakes with warm maple syrup, fresh berries, or peanut butter. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheated in a toaster.
