Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 3/4 cups milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Optional Toppings
- Fresh berries
- Chocolate chips
- Sliced bananas
- Nuts
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and grease a rimmed baking sheet with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine the milk, eggs, and vanilla extract, whisking until the mixture is smooth and homogeneous.
- Combine Wet and Dry: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined, taking care not to overmix; some lumps are okay for tender pancakes.
- Add Melted Butter: Stir in the melted unsalted butter, folding it into the batter until evenly incorporated.
- Pour Batter: Pour the batter evenly onto the prepared baking sheet and spread it out smoothly with a spatula to an even thickness.
- Add Toppings: If desired, scatter your choice of optional toppings such as fresh berries, chocolate chips, sliced bananas, or nuts over the top of the batter.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-18 minutes until the pancakes turn golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Slice: Allow the pancake sheet to cool slightly in the pan for a few minutes, then slice into squares or rectangles for serving.
- Serve: Serve warm with your favorite syrup or additional toppings to enjoy a delightful breakfast treat.
Notes
- Do not overmix the batter to keep pancakes fluffy.
- Use a rimmed baking sheet to contain the batter and prevent spills while baking.
- Customize your pancakes with a variety of toppings before baking.
- Allow pancakes to cool slightly before slicing for cleaner cuts.
- Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator and reheated in a toaster or oven.
