Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 eggs
1½ cups milk
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon butter, melted
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon salt
How to Make
Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Combine Wet Ingredients
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and then add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix well.
Make the Batter
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined—some lumps are okay. Avoid overmixing to keep pancakes tender.
Heat the Pan
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or oil.
Cook the Pancakes
Pour about ¼ cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
Serve Warm
Stack the pancakes on a plate and serve immediately with your favorite toppings like maple syrup, fresh fruit, or whipped cream.
Serving and Storage Tips
Serve with fresh berries, honey, or nut butter for extra flavor.
Leftover pancakes can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
Reheat gently in a toaster or microwave before serving.
Variations
Chocolate Chip: Add ½ cup of chocolate chips to the batter before cooking.
Blueberry: Fold fresh or frozen blueberries into the batter.
Vegan: Substitute eggs with flax eggs and use plant-based milk and butter alternatives.
FAQ
Q: Can I use baking soda instead of baking powder?
A: Baking powder is best here because it contains acid and base for rising. Baking soda alone won’t work unless you add an acid like buttermilk or lemon juice.
Q: How do I keep pancakes fluffy?
A: Don’t overmix the batter. Stir until just combined and let the batter rest for a few minutes before cooking.
