Ingredients

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

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, cardamom, and salt until well combined.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, whisk the milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 3

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are fine.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes, then flip and cook the other side until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes.

Step 6

Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed between batches.

Step 7

Serve warm with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, honey, fresh fruits, or a dusting of powdered sugar.
