Sheet Pan Pancakes
Description
The recipe begins by preheating the oven to 425 degrees and preparing a large rimmed baking sheet with melted butter and flour. The dry ingredients including flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt are whisked together, and a separate mixture of eggs, buttermilk, vanilla, and melted butter is stirred in until just combined with some lumps remaining to preserve fluffiness.
The batter is spread evenly in the sheet pan and baked until cooked through and lightly browned, typically taking 15 to 18 minutes. Testing doneness with a toothpick is advised, and browning levels may vary by oven.
This method allows making a pancake portion large enough to slice for multiple servings, ideal for quick batch cooking without individual pancakes. Serving options can vary, accommodating various toppings or syrups.
Ingredients
- 8 Tbsp unsalted butter melted, divided
- 2 1/2 cups (354g) all-purpose flour (scoop and level to measure), plus 1 Tbsp for dusting pan
- 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp salt
- 3 large egg
- 2 1/2 cups buttermilk low-fat
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Brush an 18 by 13-inch rimmed baking sheet with 2 Tbsp melted butter, then dust baking sheet with 1 Tbsp flour and shake to coat. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt for 20 seconds. Make a well in center of mixture.
- Crack eggs in a separate large mixing bowl. Whisk the eggs together then add in buttermilk and vanilla extract and mix.
- While whisking pour in 5 Tbsp melted butter and mix well (it will clump up a little that's fine).
- Pour buttermilk mixture into flour mixture and whisk until combined, batter should be slightly lumpy (don't over-mix or pancakes won't be as fluffy).
- Right away pour batter into prepared baking sheet and spread into an even layer using a spatula.
- Bake in preheated oven until baked through (a toothpick should come out clean), about 15 to 18 minutes (note that each oven browns differently if your oven didn't get a golden brown top you can remove then adjust oven rack closer to broiler, preheat broiler and let it toast just very briefly keeping a close eye on it).
- Brush remaining 1 Tbsp melted butter over top, cut into squares and serve warm with maple syrup or other desired topping of choice.
