Ingredients

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

Directions

1

In a bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
2

In another bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla; bend well.
3

Pour the liquid ingredients over the dry ingredients; mix with the whisk, stopping when everything is just combined (don't worry if the batter is a bit lumpy).
4

Lightly butter or oil or spray your griddle or skillet.
5

Preheat over medium heat (if using an electric griddle, set to 350°; if you want to hold the pancakes until serving time, preheat oven to 200°.
6

Spoon 1/4 cup batter onto griddle for each pancake, allowing space for spreading.
7

When the undersides of the pancakes are golden and the tops are speckled with bubbles that pop and stay open, flip the pancakes over with a wide spatula and cook until the other sides are light brown.
8

Serve immediately or keep the finished pancakes in the preheated oven while you make the rest of the batch.

Serve with desired toppings.
