Equipment

  • 2 mixing bowls one small, one large
  • 1 Whisk
  • 1 set of measuring cups and spoons
  • 1 Spatula

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp baking powder
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ tsp kosher salt
  • 2 cups skim milk or other milk of choice (i.e. 2%, plant-based)
  • 2 large eggs
  • ¼ cup vegetable oil

Instructions
 

Preheat Griddle

  • Preheat a griddle or skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter, avocado oil, or non-stick cooking spray. I like to use a combination of a bit of butter and avocado oil.

Mix Dry Ingredients

  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and kosher salt.

Combine Wet Ingredients

  • In another mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, and vegetable oil.

Mix the Batter

  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir to combine. Take care to not overmix; it's okay if there are a few lumps in the batter.

Cook the Pancakes

  • Pour 1/4 - ⅓ cup of the batter for each pancake onto the hot griddle (I used a ¼ cup measuring cup). Cook until bubbles form on the surface, this only takes 2 to 3 minutes. Flip the pancakes and cook the other side until the pancakes are golden brown.

Serve

  • Serve these pancakes with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, whipped cream, Maple Peanut Butter Sauce, sliced apples, fresh berries, or nuts. Enjoy!
