Ingredients

• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1.25 cups whole milk
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil or additional butter, for cooking

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and granulated sugar. Whisk together to ensure the ingredients are well incorporated.

Step 2

In another bowl, beat the eggs until they are frothy, then add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Whisk the wet ingredients together until well combined.

Step 3

Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour the wet mixture into it. Carefully fold the ingredients together using a spatula, until no dry streaks remain. Be cautious not to overmix; a few lumps are fine.

Step 4

Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly coat the surface with vegetable oil or butter.

Step 5

Pour approximately 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until the edges look set and bubbles begin to form in the center, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 6

Flip the pancakes and cook the other side until golden brown, another 1-2 minutes.

Step 7

Transfer the cooked pancakes to a warm platter and cover loosely with foil to keep them warm while you cook the remaining batter.

Step 8

Serve the pancakes warm, topped with your choice of fresh berries, a sprinkle of powdered sugar, and a drizzle of maple syrup.
