Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Active dry yeast
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1.5 cups Warm milk (110°F/45°C)
• 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons Neutral oil or butter (for cooking)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, active dry yeast, and salt until evenly combined.

Step 2

In a separate bowl or liquid measuring cup, warm the milk to about 110°F/45°C. Ensure the milk is warm, not hot, to avoid killing the yeast.

Step 3

Add the melted unsalted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract to the warm milk, whisking until well blended.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and stir with a wooden spoon or whisk until a smooth batter forms. The batter will be slightly thick; this is normal.

Step 5

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel and let the batter rise at room temperature for 1 to 1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.

Step 6

Once the batter has risen, gently stir it to deflate some of the bubbles, being careful not to overmix.

Step 7

Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with neutral oil or butter.

Step 8

Scoop about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake, spreading it gently if needed to create an even circle.

Step 9

Cook the pancakes for 2 to 3 minutes, or until bubbles start to form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 2 minutes, or until golden brown.

Step 10

Transfer cooked pancakes to a plate and keep them warm. Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed.

Step 11

Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings, such as maple syrup, fresh fruit, or a dollop of whipped cream.
