Ingredients
Method
- Whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt together in a large bowl.
- Pour in the milk, melted butter, and vanilla. Stir just until combined, about 12 to 15 strokes. A few lumps are fine. Let the batter rest while the pan heats, 5 to 10 minutes.
- Warm a griddle or nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add a pat of butter. Scoop ¼ cup of batter per pancake onto the surface. Cook 2 to 3 minutes, until bubbles appear and edges look set, then flip and cook 1 minute more.
- Stack the pancakes on plates, top with butter and maple syrup, and serve right away.
Notes
If the batter thickens too much after resting, stir in a splash of milk. For a tangier flavor and even lighter texture, replace the milk with an equal amount of buttermilk, cut the baking powder to 1 ½ tsp, and add ½ tsp baking soda.
