Let’s Make It Together
Get ready to embark on a pancake-making adventure that will tickle your taste buds!
Gather Your Gear: Start by collecting all your ingredients and tools: mixing bowls, whisk, measuring cups, and a non-stick skillet or griddle.
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk them together until well blended; this helps evenly distribute the leavening agent.
Add Wet Ingredients: Create a well in the center of your dry mixture. Pour in milk, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. Stir gently until just combined; small lumps are perfectly fine.
Preheat Your Pan: Heat your skillet over medium heat until it’s hot but not smoking. A drop of water should sizzle upon contact—this means it’s pancake time!
Pancake Perfection Time!: Ladle about 1/4 cup of batter onto your skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface (2-3 minutes), then flip carefully with a spatula and cook another minute until golden brown.
Serve with Love!: Stack those golden beauties high on a plate! Top with butter, syrup, fresh fruit or even whipped cream if you’re feeling fancy. Enjoy them while they’re warm!
With these steps complete, you’re ready to enjoy fluffy pancakes that will impress everyone at your breakfast table!
