Ingredients
-
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
-
1 tablespoon baking powder
-
½ teaspoon baking soda
-
1 tablespoon sugar
-
¼ teaspoon salt
-
1 ¼ cups milk (or buttermilk)
-
2 large eggs
-
2 tablespoons melted butter
-
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
-
Optional add-ins: chocolate chips, blueberries, or cinnamon
Instructions
-
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, and salt.
-
In another bowl, mix together the milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
-
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. The batter should be slightly lumpy.
-
Let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes.
-
Preheat a non-stick pan or griddle on medium heat. Test by sprinkling a drop of water — it should sizzle.
-
Pour ¼ cup of batter for each pancake onto the pan.
-
Wait for small bubbles to form on top and for the edges to set. Flip the pancake and cook the other side until golden brown.
-
Serve hot with your favorite toppings.
Notes
Don’t overmix the batter. A few lumps are okay.
Resting the batter helps the pancakes rise better.
Use medium heat to ensure pancakes cook evenly without burning.
For extra fluffiness, whip the egg whites separately and fold them in gently.
