Pancake and Waffle Batter

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Batter

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

  2. 2

    Combine Wet Ingredients

    In another bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.

  3. 3

    Mix Batter

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.

  4. 4

    Cook Pancakes

    Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Pour 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.

  5. 5

    Cook Waffles

    Preheat your waffle iron. Pour the recommended amount of batter (usually about 1/2 cup) onto the center of the preheated waffle iron. Close the lid and cook according to the manufacturer's instructions until golden brown.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve warm with your favorite toppings such as syrup, fresh fruit, or whipped cream.
