How to Make Best Pancakes

  1. Preheat a cast iron skillet or griddle to 325°F (160°C) over medium-low heat.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: 2 cups all-purpose flour, 4 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 2 tablespoons granulated sugar.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients: 2 large eggs, 1 1/2 cups milk, 1/4 cup melted unsalted butter, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  4. Gently pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and use a spatula to fold them together until just combined. Don't overmix!
  5. Let the batter rest for 15-30 minutes. This allows the gluten to relax, resulting in fluffier pancakes.
  6. Once the pan is hot, lightly grease it with butter or oil.
  7. Pour 1/2 cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake.
  8. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Flip when bubbles start to form on the surface and the edges look set.
  9. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings like butter, syrup, fruit, or whipped cream!
