There’s nothing quite like waking up to a stack of warm, fluffy pancakes. And with this ultimate pancake recipe, you can make them just the way you like them – light, fluffy, and packed with flavor. So why settle for boring pancakes when you can have the best breakfast ever?

Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 4 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 cups milk
• 2 large eggs
• 1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
3. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Don’t overmix or your pancakes will be tough.
4. Preheat a non-stick griddle or large skillet over medium heat.
5. Using a 1/4 cup measure, scoop the batter onto the griddle or skillet, spacing the pancakes about 2 inches apart. Cook until bubbles form on the surface of the pancakes and the edges start to look set, about 2-3 minutes.
6. Flip the pancakes and cook until the other side is golden brown, about 1-2 minutes more.
7. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more melted butter or non-stick spray to the skillet or griddle as needed.
8. Serve the pancakes hot, with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, fresh fruit, whipped cream or chocolate chips.
