Everyday Pancakes
These pancakes are light and fluffy, with just a hint of sweetness. Enjoy them as-is with butter and maple syrup, or dress them up with berries, fruit syrups, or a dollop of whipped cream.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 4 tbsp granulated sugar
- ½ tsp fine salt
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 2 cups milk
- 3 tbsp melted butter or vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- Vegetable oil for the pan
- Butter and syrup (optional), for serving
Recommended Equipment
- 11-inch griddle pan or skillet
- Double burner griddle for large batches
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine the flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder; whisk to blend.2 cups all-purpose flour | 4 tbsp granulated sugar | 1/2 tsp fine salt | 1 tbsp baking powder
- In another bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter or oil, and eggs until well blended; add to the dry ingredients, stirring just until moistened. Avoid over-mixing the batter.2 cups milk | 3 tbsp melted butter or vegetable oil | 2 large eggs
- Brush a large skillet or griddle with oil; heat over medium heat. Spoon about 3 to 4 tablespoons of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form and begin to burst around the edges, about 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Flip carefully and cook the other side for about 1 1/2 to 2 minutes longer, or until browned.Vegetable oil for the pan
- As the pancakes are cooked, stack them on a heated platter or baking pan. Cover loosely with foil and keep warm in a warming drawer or a preheated 200°F oven.
- Serve the pancakes hot with butter and syrup or your favorite toppings.Butter and syrup (optional)
Tip: Don’t worry about a few lumps—overmixing makes pancakes tough. The batter should pour slowly from a spoon, like lava. If it seems thin, whisk in a tablespoon of flour; if it’s too thick to pour, gently stir in a splash of milk.
Tip: Adjust the heat as needed if the pancakes brown too quickly.
