Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tbsp baking powder Fresh for best results
  • 1/2 tsp salt Enhances flavor
Wet Ingredients
  • 1 cup milk Use room temperature
  • 2 large eggs Use room temperature
  • 2 tbsp butter Melted
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract Optional for extra flavor
For Cooking
  • 2 tbsp butter Plus a little neutral oil to prevent burning

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a bowl, mix the dry ingredients: flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  2. In another bowl, mix the wet ingredients: milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
  3. Combine the wet and dry ingredients gently, leaving some small lumps in the batter. Let it rest for 5-10 minutes.
Cooking
  1. Heat a nonstick pan or skillet over medium heat and add butter and a touch of oil.
  2. Pour 1/4 cup of batter into the pan and do not touch it. Wait for bubbles to form on the surface and the edges to set.
  3. Once ready, flip the pancake and cook for another 45-75 seconds until lightly golden.
  4. Repeat with remaining batter, wiping the pan with a paper towel as needed.

Notes

Serve pancakes warm with your choice of toppings such as maple syrup, fresh fruits, or chocolate chips. Keep finished pancakes warm in a 200°F oven until serving.
