Fluffy Pancakes

Family was in town, and at the last minute I decided to make some pancakes. Clicked on Google and this was the first recipe to come up. It's a keeper. Makes 12 pancakes.


2 cups flour

¼ cup sugar

4 tsp baking powder

¼ tsp baking soda

½ tsp salt

1¾ cups milk

¼ cup butter, melted

2 tsp vanilla

1 large egg


Combine dry ingredients. Whisk together the milk, slightly cooled melted butter, vanilla, and egg. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture. Slowly fold the wet mixture into the flour until fairly smooth. A few lumps are okay. The batter will be thick and creamy.If you find it too thick you can add a couple tablespoons of extra milk, one at a time. (I didn't do that).

Set the batter aside to rest while you heat up the griddle (non-stick griddle is best) over low-medium heat. Brush with a little butter to lightly grease the griddle. Pour about ¼ cup of batter onto the pan and gently spread into a round shape. When the underside is golden and bubbles appear on the surface, flip to cook until golden.
