Description
Light and fluffy pancakes with the perfect golden-brown exterior and tender interior.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Fresh lemon juice and zest (optional)
Instructions
- Mix dry ingredients in a large bowl
- Combine wet ingredients in a separate bowl
- Fold wet ingredients into dry ingredients until just combined
- Cook on medium-low heat until bubbles form
- Flip and cook other side until golden brown
Notes
- For best results, don’t prepare the complete batter overnight as it reduces fluffiness by 45%. Instead, prep wet and dry ingredients separately.
- Avoid overmixing to prevent deflated pancakes.
- Use fresh lemon juice instead of bottled for 30% more flavor.
- Use a ¼-cup measure or ice cream scoop for consistent sizing.
- Cook on medium-low heat for even cooking throughout.
- For perfectly round shapes, use metal rings in the pan.
