This is just a variation of many different recipes I've tried throughout the years. It's likely that all of these ingredients will be on hand, and total time spent for a great breakfast is less than 30 minutes. Ingredients:
3 cups flour |
1/3 cup sugar |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
2 tablespoons baking powder |
3 eggs |
1/3 cup butter |
1 tablespoon vanilla extract |
2 cups milk |
Directions:
1. Mix dry ingredients and whisk together.
2. Mix wet ingredients together and whisk into the dry ingredients. Batter will be extremely thick, so you can add a little more milk to lessen the consistency if you prefer, but assuming you got the flour measurement correct, 2 cups of milk always seems to be about perfect for me.
3. I use a 1/4 cup to scoop the batter on the griddle. If you like very thick and fluffy pancakes you'll have to use a spatula or just bang the cup on the griddle a few times to get it all out.
4. I use a cast iron griddle over gas burners, so I have to use very low heat, and each set of pancakes cooks faster and faster (Usually 2-4 minutes per side for me). Most people say to watch the bubbles on top and turn after they pop, but with pancakes this thick, it can be a little deceiving. I just check the bottom before flipping and once it's golden brown, I flip it. Also, because they are so thick, you want to give a little smash with your spatula once you flip to make sure the whole bottom is in contact with the griddle.
5. I feel it is a must to use real butter and a good syrup, but these are really up to you.
