Method
Main batter
Prepare dry ingredients
In a large mixing bowl whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined and aerated.
Combine wet ingredients
In a separate bowl whisk the whole milk, eggs, melted unsalted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth and homogeneous.
Make the batter
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Using a spatula or wooden spoon, gently fold until just combined. Do not overmix; a few small lumps are fine. If using chocolate chips or berries as mix-ins, fold them in now.
Cook and serve
Cook batter
For pancakes: pour 1/4 cup batter per pancake onto the hot surface. Cook until bubbles appear on the surface and edges look set, about 2–3 minutes. Flip and cook until the second side is golden brown, about 1–2 minutes more. Repeat with remaining batter, adjusting heat as needed to prevent burning.
Plate and finish
Stack pancakes on plates. Dust with powdered sugar if desired and serve with maple syrup and extra fresh berries on the side.
