Pantry Ingredients for Pancakes
You need basic ingredients for this pancake recipe. All purpose flour and baking powder make them rise and become fluffy. Fresh eggs add richness and help bind everything together. Milk creates the right batter consistency.
What to Prepare
- One and half cups all purpose flour
- Two tablespoons sugar
- Two teaspoons baking powder
- Half teaspoon salt
- One cup milk
- Two eggs
- Three tablespoons melted butter
- One teaspoon vanilla extract
Mixing the Perfect Batter
Take two separate bowls for this pancake recipe. In one bowl mix all the dry ingredients together. Whisk the flour with sugar baking powder and salt. In another bowl beat the eggs lightly with a fork.
Add milk melted butter and vanilla to the eggs. Mix these wet ingredients well. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spoon until just combined. Some small lumps are okay.
Do not overmix the batter or your pancakes will be tough. Let the batter rest for five minutes. This allows the baking powder to activate and makes extra fluffy pancakes.
Cooking on the Griddle
Heat a non stick pan or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease it with butter or oil. Pour a quarter cup of batter for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set.
Flip the pancake carefully with a spatula. Cook the other side for about one minute until golden brown. The pancake recipe makes about eight medium sized pancakes. Keep them warm while you cook the rest.
Stack your pancakes on a plate and serve hot. Top with maple syrup fresh fruits or whipped cream. These homemade pancakes taste better than any restaurant version. Your family will request them every weekend.
