Hot Cakes Ingredients

Method

Hot Cakes Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Batter

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients: flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

  2. 2

    Mix Wet Ingredients

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

  3. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Add the melted butter and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.

  4. 4

    Heat the Pan

    In a skillet or griddle, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. You can also use a non-stick surface without oil.

  5. 5

    Cook the Hot Cakes

    For each hot cake, pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface (about 2-3 minutes), then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Remove the hot cakes from the skillet and serve warm with your favorite toppings such as syrup, butter, or fresh fruit.
