How to Make It

Prepare the Dry Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of flour, 2 tablespoons of sugar, and 1 tablespoon of baking powder. Use a whisk to mix the ingredients thoroughly, ensuring that the baking powder is evenly distributed throughout the flour. Set the bowl aside.

Mix the Wet Ingredients

In a separate bowl, crack 2 eggs and beat them until the yolks and whites are fully combined. Pour in 2 cups of milk, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and whisk until the mixture is smooth and uniform.

Slowly add 1/3 cup of melted butter to the milk and egg mixture while continuing to whisk. This helps to incorporate the butter evenly without causing the eggs to cook from the heat of the melted butter.

Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients

Pour the wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Using a spatula or wooden spoon, gently stir the ingredients together until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in tougher pancakes. The batter should be slightly lumpy, which helps to create a light, fluffy texture.

Rest the Batter

Cover the mixing bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate the batter for at least one hour. Allowing the batter to rest helps to improve the texture of the pancakes, making them lighter and fluffier when cooked.

Cook the Pancakes

Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with a small amount of butter or oil. Once the skillet is hot, pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface of the pancake and the edges begin to look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate and repeat the process with the remaining batter.

Serve

Serve the pancakes warm, topped with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, fresh berries, or whipped cream. Enjoy your delicious homemade pancakes!
