Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar or to taste
  • 4 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 ¾ cups milk or as needed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter or vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a medium bowl, whisk milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla.
  2. In a separate bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk to combine.
  3. Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the wet mixture. Gently stir the batter until just combined, the batter should be slightly lumpy.
  4. Preheat a griddle or frying pan over medium heat (or to 350°F). Lightly grease with butter or vegetable oil.
  5. Pour about ¼ cup of batter onto the heated griddle for each pancake. Cook on one side until bubbles form and begin to pop, about 2 minutes. Flip the pancakes over and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until both sides are golden brown.
  6. Transfer the cooked pancakes to a serving plate or a warmed oven and repeat with the remaining batter.

Notes

  • If you prefer a sweeter pancake, add a little bit more sugar.
  • To Make Large Batches: If making large batches, preheat the oven to 175-200°F and keep a baking sheet in the oven. Keep pancakes warm on the baking sheet.
  • To Make Whole Wheat Pancakes: Substitute 1/2 cup of white flour for whole wheat flour.
  • To Make Ahead: Cook and cool pancakes. Separate pancakes with a layer of waxed paper and place in a freezer bag. Reheat in the microwave, toaster, or oven
