1. Mix the dry ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
2. Mix the wet ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
3. Combine
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined.
A few small lumps are perfectly fine. Avoid overmixing, as this can make the pancakes less fluffy.
4. Heat the pan
Place a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease it with butter.
5. Cook the pancakes
Pour about ¼ cup of batter onto the hot pan for each pancake.
Cook for about 2–3 minutes, until bubbles form on the surface and the edges begin to look set.
6. Flip
Carefully flip each pancake and cook for another 1–2 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through.
Repeat with the remaining batter, adding a little butter to the pan between batches if needed.
7. Serve
Stack the warm pancakes on a plate.
Top with a generous pat of butter and drizzle with warm maple syrup.
For extra flavor, add fresh berries, sliced bananas, chopped pecans, or a sprinkle of powdered sugar.
Tips for Extra-Fluffy Pancakes
- Don’t overmix the batter.
- Let the batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking.
- Keep the heat around medium so the pancakes brown without burning.
- Flip only once when bubbles appear and the edges are set.
- Serve immediately for the best texture.
Perfect for breakfast… but honestly, pancakes for supper might be even better! 🥞🧈🍁
