Yield 9 3.5-inch pancakes

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon sugar, optional
2 eggs
1 1/2 to 2 cups milk
2 tablespoons melted and cooled butter (optional), plus unmelted butter for cooking, or use neutral oil

Steps:

  • 1. Heat a griddle or large skillet over medium-low heat. In a bowl, mix together dry ingredients. Beat eggs into 1 1/2 cups milk, then stir in 2 tablespoons melted cooled butter, if using it. Gently stir this mixture into dry ingredients, mixing only enough to moisten flour; don't worry about a few lumps. If batter seems thick, add a little more milk. 2. Place a teaspoon or 2 of butter or oil on griddle or skillet. When butter foam subsides or oil shimmers, ladle batter onto griddle or skillet, making pancakes of any size you like. Adjust heat as necessary; usually, first batch will require higher heat than subsequent batches. Flip pancakes after bubbles rise to surface and bottoms brown, after 2 to 4 minutes. 3. Cook until second side is lightly browned. Serve, or hold on an ovenproof plate in a 200-degree oven for up to 15 minutes. Variations * Blueberry or Banana Pancakes: Use fresh or frozen (not defrosted) blueberries; overripe bananas are great. Just before cooking, stir blueberries into batter. For bananas, slice them and press into surface of cooking pancakes. Cook pancakes a little more slowly than you would other pancakes as they burn more easily. *Whole-Grain Pancakes: Substitute whole wheat flour, cornmeal, rolled oats or a combination for up to 1 cup of flour and proceed with recipe.

These pancakes were a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I might have used too much sugar in the batter. Next time I will use less sugar.

These pancakes were good, but not great. I found them to be a bit bland. I think I might have needed to add some more spices to the batter.

These pancakes were amazing! I've never had pancakes that were so light and fluffy. I will definitely be making these again.

I found that these pancakes were a bit dry. I think I might have needed to add a little more milk to the batter. Other than that, they were still very good.

These pancakes were a bit too dense for my taste. I think I might have overmixed the batter. Next time I will be sure to mix it just until the ingredients are combined.

I made these pancakes for breakfast this morning and they were a hit! My kids loved them and even my husband, who is usually not a big fan of pancakes, raved about them. I used almond milk instead of regular milk and they still turned out great.

These pancakes were absolutely delicious! The texture was fluffy and light, and the flavor was perfect. I loved that the recipe used whole wheat flour, which made them feel a bit healthier. I will definitely be making these again!
