Ingredients:
-
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
-
2 tablespoons sugar
-
2 teaspoons baking powder
-
1/2 teaspoon salt
-
1 1/4 cups milk
-
2 large eggs
-
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
-
2 tablespoons melted butter (or vegetable oil)
-
Butter or oil for cooking
Instructions:
-
Prepare the dry ingredients:
-
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
-
-
Mix the wet ingredients:
-
In another bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, vanilla extract, and melted butter until smooth and fully combined.
-
-
Combine the wet and dry ingredients:
-
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spatula or whisk until just combined. Be careful not to overmix – it’s okay if the batter is a little lumpy.
-
-
Preheat the griddle:
-
Heat a nonstick griddle or skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil.
-
To check if it’s hot enough, drop a small amount of water on the surface – if it sizzles, the griddle is ready.
-
-
Cook the pancakes:
-
Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake.
-
Cook for 2-3 minutes or until bubbles form on the surface of the pancake and the edges look set.
-
Flip the pancakes with a spatula and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
-
-
Serve and enjoy:
-
Stack the pancakes on a plate and serve immediately with your favorite toppings like maple syrup, butter, fresh berries, or whipped cream.
-
Tips:
-
Make the pancakes thicker: If you prefer thicker pancakes, you can reduce the milk by a couple of tablespoons.
-
Add-ins: Feel free to mix in chocolate chips, blueberries, or sliced bananas into the batter before cooking for extra flavor.
-
Keep pancakes warm: If making a large batch, keep the pancakes warm by placing them on a baking sheet in the oven at 200°F (93°C) while you cook the remaining pancakes.
Enjoy your Vanilla Pancakes – a simple and scrumptious breakfast or brunch option!
