Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 4 teaspoons baking powder
- 12 teaspoon baking soda
- 14 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons sugar
Wet Ingredients:
- 1 34 cups milk
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Combine all dry ingredients in a spacious mixing vessel, ensuring thorough integration of flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt through gentle whisking.
- Create a separate mixture by vigorously beating eggs, then incorporating milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth and well-blended.
- Gently merge wet and dry ingredients, stirring minimally to avoid overmixing – some small lumps are acceptable and desirable for optimal texture.
- Prepare a non-stick cooking surface over medium heat (around 375°F), applying a thin layer of cooking spray or butter to prevent sticking.
- Carefully ladle batter onto the heated surface, allowing approximately 1/4 cup per pancake and maintaining consistent spacing between each.
- Monitor pancakes closely, waiting until small bubbles emerge across the surface and edges appear slightly matte, which typically takes 2-3 minutes.
- Execute a precise flip, cooking the reverse side until achieving a golden-brown complexion, approximately 1-2 minutes.
- Transfer finished pancakes to a warming plate, maintaining temperature and preventing sogginess while completing the batch.
- Present immediately with preferred accompaniments such as maple syrup, fresh berries, whipped cream, or additional butter.
Notes
- Perfectly mix wet and dry ingredients separately to prevent overmixing, which can lead to tough pancakes.
- Use room temperature eggs and milk for smoother batter consistency and even cooking.
- Adjust baking powder freshness to ensure maximum fluffiness; replace if older than 6 months.
- For gluten-free option, substitute all-purpose flour with a 1:1 gluten-free baking blend.
