Here’s a recipe for breakfast pancakes that serves four:
Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 3/4 cups milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- Butter or oil for cooking
Instructions:
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract (if using) until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. It’s okay if there are a few lumps; avoid overmixing.
- Let the batter rest for about 5-10 minutes. This resting time helps the batter thicken slightly and results in fluffier pancakes.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add a small amount of butter or oil to coat the surface.
- Pour about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface of the pancake and the edges begin to set, usually about 2-3 minutes.
- Carefully flip the pancake with a spatula and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until golden brown on the bottom.
- Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more butter or oil to the skillet as needed.
- Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, fresh fruit, honey, or whipped cream.
These fluffy pancakes are perfect for a delightful breakfast to serve a family of four! Adjust the toppings according to personal preferences for a delightful morning treat.
