Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Combine Dry Ingredients

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

  2. 2

    Mix Wet Ingredients

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

Cooking

  1. 3

    Combine Mixtures

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined, being careful not to overmix (some lumps are okay).

  2. 4

    Heat the Pan

    Place a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and grease it lightly with butter or oil.

  3. 5

    Cook the Pancakes

    Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the heated skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.

  4. 6

    Serve

    Remove the pancakes from the skillet and keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter. Serve warm with your favorite toppings such as syrup, fruits, or whipped cream.
