Equipment

  • Griddle

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups whole milk
  • 3 tbsp melted butter
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 3/4 tsp baking powder
  • 1 1/4 tsp salt

Instructions

  • Whisk together wet ingredients – Milk, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. I usually do this in a large glass measuring cup.
  • Whisk together dry ingredients – In a medium mixing bowl, whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  • Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and give it a few whisks just to lightly combine. The batter should be lumpy!

  • Preheat the griddle over medium-high heat. If using an electric griddle set the temperature to 375°F.

  • Cook the pancakes – Add a good amount of butter to the griddle and push it around where the pancake batter will be. Add 1/3 cup dollops of batter onto the griddle. Add what you can, giving the battered space to spread and cook.
  • Cook for 2 – 3 min on one side until bubbles form. Then flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown. Do not flip the pancakes again.

  • Once the pancakes are cooked, remove them from the griddle and onto a plate. Continue making more pancakes until the batter is gone.

Notes

  • Do not over mix the batter. The batter should be lumpy and not smooth.
  • Use a griddle or a large non-stick pan to cook the pancakes.
  • Use 1/3 cup batter for each pancake.
  • Carefully and gently wipe the griddle between pancakes and add new butter so the butter won’t burn. I usually do this with a paper towel.
  • Always use, whole organic ingredients when possible.
  • Never flip a pancake twice. Once you flip it let it cook on the other side and then remove it from he griddle.
