Equipment
- 2 mixing bowls
- 1 griddle or large skillet
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespooons unsalted butter for coating the griddle
- 2 large eggs
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract optional
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.
- In a separate mixing bowl, mix together the milk, eggs and optional vanilla extract.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing until they are just combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter, as this can lead to tough pancakes.
- Heat a griddle or large skillet over medium heat and coat it with a thin layer of butter.
- Pour or scoop 1/4 cup of batter onto the griddle for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface of the pancake and the edges appear set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip the pancake and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
- Once cooked, transfer the pancakes to a plate and serve immediately with your favorite toppings, such as syrup, fruit or whipped cream.
