Ingredients
Dry Ingredients:
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients:
2 large eggs
1 1/2 cups milk
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
1. Prepare the Batter:
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In another bowl, beat the eggs lightly, then add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract (if using). Mix until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps in the batter are okay.
2. Heat the Griddle or Pan:
Place a non-stick griddle or skillet over medium heat. If using a skillet, lightly grease it with butter or cooking spray.
To test if the griddle is hot enough, sprinkle a few drops of water onto the surface. If they sizzle and evaporate, it’s ready.
