Introduction
These pancakes are known for their thick, airy texture and golden crust. They’re perfect for breakfast or brunch and feel just like restaurant-style pancakes made at home.
Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
1¾ cups milk
¼ cup melted butter or vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Optional
Extra butter for cooking
Maple syrup or honey for serving
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- In another bowl, beat the eggs, then add milk, melted butter, and vanilla.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Do not overmix (small lumps are fine).
- Heat a non-stick pan or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter.
- Pour about ½ cup batter for each pancake.
- Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set (about 2–3 minutes).
- Flip and cook another 2 minutes until golden brown.
- Repeat with remaining batter.
Method
The key to fluffy pancakes is not overmixing and using baking powder for lift. Medium heat allows them to cook through without burning while creating a golden crust.
