Follow The Directions

01

Step

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. (2 minutes)

02

Step

Add the oil (or melted butter) and eggs to the dry ingredients. (1 minute)

03

Step

Gradually pour in the milk, whisking gently until just combined. The batter should be slightly lumpy; avoid overmixing. Add more milk if needed to reach a pourable consistency. (3 minutes)

04

Step

Heat a lightly oiled griddle or non-stick pan over medium heat. A drop of water should sizzle and evaporate quickly when the pan is ready. (5 minutes)

05

Step

Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake. (1 minute)

06

Step

Cook for 3-4 minutes, or until bubbles begin to form on the surface and the edges appear set. (4 minutes)

07

Step

Flip the pancakes carefully and cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown on the other side. (3 minutes)

08

Step

Serve immediately with your favorite toppings, such as maple syrup, fresh fruit, whipped cream, or a dusting of powdered sugar. (1 minute)

For extra fluffy pancakes, let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes before cooking.
Buttermilk adds a delightful tang to these pancakes. If using buttermilk, you may need to add a touch more sugar to balance the acidity.
Get creative with your mix-ins! Chocolate chips, blueberries, or a sprinkle of cinnamon can elevate these pancakes to new heights.
Ensure your griddle is hot enough before adding the batter to prevent flat, greasy pancakes.

    The resting time makes a huge difference – the pancakes are noticeably fluffier!
