Ingredients
Scale
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
1 1/2 cups milk (or buttermilk)
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium-high heat.
Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake.
Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Flip when you see bubbles forming on the surface.
Serve immediately with your favorite toppings.
Notes
For buttermilk pancakes, substitute 1 1/2 cups of buttermilk for the regular milk.
If you don’t have buttermilk, you can make a substitute by mixing 1 1/2 tablespoons of lemon juice or white vinegar with 1 1/2 cups of milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
To freeze pancakes, let them cool completely, then wrap them individually in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer bag. Reheat in the toaster or oven.
