Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Griddle

    Preheat a griddle or non-stick skillet over medium heat. If you have an electric griddle, set it to 375°F (190°C).

  2. 2

    Combine Dry Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.

  3. 3

    Mix Wet Ingredients

    In another bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, melted unsalted butter (cooled slightly), and vanilla extract until well blended.

  4. 4

    Combine Mixtures

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.

Cooking

  1. 5

    Cook the Hot Cakes

    Pour about 1/2 cup of batter onto the preheated griddle for each hot cake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 3-4 minutes.

  2. 6

    Flip the Hot Cakes

    Carefully flip each hot cake with a spatula and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.

  3. 7

    Repeat Cooking

    Continue with the remaining batter, adjusting the heat as necessary to prevent burning. Keep cooked hot cakes warm in a low oven (around 200°F or 93°C) until ready to serve.

Serving

  1. 8

    Serve and Enjoy

    Serve the large hot cakes warm, topped with maple syrup, fresh berries, and whipped cream as desired.
