How to Make Best Ever Pancake Waffle Batter

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt (omit if using salted butter).
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients: melted butter, eggs, milk, and yogurt.
  3. Gently pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk until just combined. Do not overmix. Let the batter rest for 2-3 minutes.
  4. Lightly grease a griddle or waffle iron. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot surface for each pancake or waffle.
  5. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. For waffles, follow your waffle iron's instructions.
  6. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings, such as maple syrup, fresh fruit, whipped cream, or chocolate chips.
