How to Make Best Pancakes
- Preheat a cast iron skillet or griddle to 325°F (160°C) over medium-low heat.
- 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.
- 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.
- Gently pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and use a spatula to fold them together until just combined. Don't overmix!
- Let the batter rest for 15-30 minutes. This allows the gluten to relax, resulting in fluffier pancakes.
- Once the pan is hot, lightly grease it with butter or oil.
- Pour 1/2 cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake.
- 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.
- Serve immediately with your favorite toppings like butter, syrup, fruit, or whipped cream!
