Ingredients
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 4 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 1/2 cups milk, plus more, to taste
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, optional
- butter, to taste
Directions
Step 1 –Preheat a griddle to 325 degrees F or heat a skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 2 –In a large bowl, whisk the flour, the sugar, the baking powder, the baking soda, and the salt together.
Step 3 –In a large bowl, mix 2 cups of the pancake mixture, the milk, the egg, and the vanilla together with a wooden spoon until most but not all of the lumps are gone and the batter is smooth and forms a pourable consistency. If it is too thick, add more of the milk.
Step 4 –Coat the griddle with the butter.
Step 5 –Pour 1/4 cup of the batter in circles on the hot griddle and cook until bubbles appear, about 2 minutes.
Step 6 –Flip the pancakes and cook just until lightly browned on the bottom, about 1 minute.
Step 7 –Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate and stack them to help keep warm.
Step 8 –Repeat with the remaining batter.
Step 9 –Serve immediately.
