Equipment

  • Large mixing bowl
  • Medium mixing bowl
  • Whisk
  • Measuring Cups and Spoons
  • Spatula
  • Nonstick skillet or griddle
  • Ladle or 1/4 cup measuring cup
  • Cooling rack (optional)
  • Butter brush

Ingredients
  

For the Pancake Batter:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 3/4 cups whole milk
  • 1/4 cup melted unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For Cooking:

  • 2 tablespoons butter for the skillet

Optional Toppings:

  • Maple syrup
  • Fresh berries
  • Powdered sugar
  • Whipped cream
  • Sliced bananas

Instructions
 

Step 1: Mix the Dry Ingredients

  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. This step ensures the leavening agents are evenly distributed so the pancakes rise properly.

Step 2: Combine the Wet Ingredients

  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 3: Make the Batter

  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently stir until just combined. The batter should be slightly lumpy. Avoid overmixing because that can make pancakes dense instead of fluffy.

Step 4: Rest the Batter

  • Let the batter sit for about 5 minutes. This allows the flour to hydrate and helps create softer pancakes.

Step 5: Heat the Pan

  • Place a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a small amount of butter.

Step 6: Cook the Pancakes

  • Pour about 1/4 cup batter onto the hot skillet for each pancake.
  • Cook for about 2–3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set.
  • Flip the pancake and cook for another 1–2 minutes until golden brown.

Step 7: Keep Warm and Serve

  • Transfer cooked pancakes to a plate or warm oven while you finish cooking the remaining batter.
  • Serve warm with butter and maple syrup.
