Ingredients

Dry Ingredients:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients:

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups milk
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Step 1: Mix the Dry Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Make sure to mix well to ensure that the dry ingredients are fully combined.

Step 2: Mix the Wet Ingredients

In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs and add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and well combined.

Step 3: Combine the Wet and Dry Ingredients

Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Use a spatula to gently fold the mixture together until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in tough pancakes.

Step 4: Rest the Batter

Let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes. This will allow the gluten to relax and the baking powder to activate, resulting in fluffier pancakes.

Step 5: Cook the Pancakes

Heat a non-stick griddle or skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or cooking spray. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the griddle for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook until golden brown on the other side.

Step 6: Serve and Enjoy

Once the pancakes are cooked, stack them on a plate and top with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, fresh berries, or whipped cream. Serve hot and enjoy!

Tips for Fluffy Pancakes

  • Don't overmix the batter, as this can result in tough pancakes. A few lumps in the batter are okay.
  • Let the batter rest for a few minutes before cooking to allow the gluten to relax and the baking powder to activate.
  • Use a non-stick griddle or skillet for even cooking and easy flipping.
  • Cook the pancakes over medium heat to ensure they cook through without burning.
  • Top the pancakes with your favorite toppings for a delicious and personalized touch.
