How to make American Pancakes
Preparation
In a large bowl, whisk together all the dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar.
In a separate bowl, combine the wet ingredients: milk, oil, eggs, and vanilla flavor.
Cooking
Pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
Lightly oil a pan or griddle and heat over medium heat.
Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot pan for each pancake.
Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Serving
Serve immediately with your favorite toppings, such as syrup, fresh fruit, whipped cream, or chocolate chips.
