Basic Pancake Recipe

Total Time: 30 mins Preparation Time: 30 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 2
• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 3 tablespoons sugar
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 1/2 cups milk
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
• 2 large eggs
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Recipe

• 1 mix the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.
• 2 in another bowl, whisk the milk, butter, eggs, and vanilla.
• 3 pour the mixture into the large bowl and whisk just enough to combine thoroughly. (don't over-whisk, or the pancake will be tough. it's ok if there're some lumps left in the batter. when you cook it it'll smooth out.).
• 4 heat the griddle until a few drops of water tossed onto the surface runs around frantically.
• 5 melt a pad of butter onto the griddle and, using a paper towel, rub the butter around until it evenly coats the pan and lubricates it.
• 6 scoop 1/3 cups of batter onto the griddle to make a pancake.
• 7 cook the first side until bubbles cover the pancake surface and begin to pop, then flip the pancake over.
• 8 once the second side has lightly browned (about half the time it takes to cook the first side), remove and serve.
