Old Fashioned Pancakes

Instructions

1. 01

   Measure out 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, ½ teaspoon baking soda and ½ teaspoon kosher salt into a large bowl. Whisk together until incorporated.

2. 02

   Whisk together 1 ½ cups milk, 2 eggs, 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract and 2 tablespoons flavorless oil in a smaller bowl. Whisk vigorously with a fork until well-combined — you want to ensure that the egg is completely incorporated.

3. 03

   Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this will affect the texture of the pancakes.

4. 04

   Set aside the batter, and let it rest for 5-10 minutes.

5. 05

   While the batter rests, heat a griddle or nonstick skillet over medium heat. Grease the pan lightly with butter or cooking spray.

6. 06

   Dollop the pancakes onto the preheated skillet when ready. I like to use a cookie scoop to measure my pancakes out into 1.5-tablespoon silver dollar sized ones, but you can use a larger measuring scoop if you’d rather larger pancakes.

7. 07

   When several bubbles have formed on the surface, flip the pancakes, and cook through. (Do NOT press down on the pancakes after the flip — that will make them more dense.)

8. 08

   Repeat until all batter has been made into pancakes.

9. 09

   Make a stack of pancakes, and serve with Real maple syrup, Sweetened whipped cream, softened butter, Fresh fruit, Chocolate chips or even Sprinkles.
