Sugar: Just a touch for a hint of sweetness.

  • Butter or oil: Adds moisture and helps create those golden edges.
  • Vanilla extract (optional): A little extra warmth and depth of flavor.
  • How to Make Them

    1. Mix the dry ingredients in one bowl and the wet ingredients in another.
    2. Combine gently—don’t overmix! A few lumps are perfectly fine.
    3. Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it.
    4. Pour the batter onto the hot surface and cook until bubbles form on top and the edges look set. Flip and cook until golden brown on both sides.

    Tips for the Perfect Stack

    • Don’t overmix the batter; overworking it leads to tough pancakes.
    • Preheat your skillet properly to get that golden crust.
    • Use a ladle or measuring cup for evenly sized pancakes.
    • Keep them warm in a low oven while you cook the rest.

    Serving Suggestions

    Top your pancakes the traditional way—with butter and maple syrup—or get creative with fresh berries, whipped cream, nut butter, or a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar. Pair them with bacon, sausage, or eggs for a complete breakfast spread.
