Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (125 grams)
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar (13 grams)
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup milk (170 grams)
  • 2 large eggs
  • ¼ cup oil (50 grams)
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • oil or nonstick cooking spray for the griddle

For Serving, optional

  • butter
  • maple syrup
  • powdered sugar
  • fresh berries
  • whipped cream

Instructions

  1. Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. Add the milk, eggs, oil, and vanilla extract. Stir to combine. A few lumps might remain in the batter. This is fine.

  2. Set batter aside while you heat the griddle.

    Heat a nonstick or cast iron griddle over medium heat until hot. Grease lightly with oil or nonstick cooking spray.

  3. Spoon batter, about ¼ cup, onto the griddle. The batter should sizzle lightly when it hits the pan. Cook until bubbles appear on the surface of the pancake, about 2 to 3 minutes. Flip. Cook until set, about another 1 to 2 minutes.

  4. Serve with syrup and butter or keep pancakes warm in a 175°F oven.
