How to make American Pancakes

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    In a large bowl, whisk together all the dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar.

  2. Step 2

    In a separate bowl, combine the wet ingredients: milk, oil, eggs, and vanilla flavor.

Cooking

  1. Step 1

    Pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.

  2. Step 2

    Lightly oil a pan or griddle and heat over medium heat.

  3. Step 3

    Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot pan for each pancake.

  4. Step 4

    Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.

Serving

  1. Step 1

    Serve immediately with your favorite toppings, such as syrup, fresh fruit, whipped cream, or chocolate chips.

Tips & Tricks

  1. For extra fluffy pancakes, let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes before cooking.

  2. Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing will result in tough pancakes.

  3. Use a non-stick pan or griddle to prevent the pancakes from sticking.

FAQS

  1. Can I use a different type of flour?

    Yes, you can use whole wheat flour or gluten-free flour as a substitute. Keep in mind that this might change the texture of the pancakes.

  2. Can I make the batter ahead of time?

    Yes, you can prepare the batter in advance and store it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Stir gently before using.

  3. How do I keep the pancakes warm while cooking?

    Place the cooked pancakes on a baking sheet in a preheated oven at 200°F (93°C) to keep them warm until serving.

  4. Can I add chocolate chips or blueberries to the batter?

    Yes, you can add chocolate chips, blueberries, or other toppings to the batter before cooking. Gently fold them in to avoid overmixing.

  5. What is the best way to measure flour for pancakes?

    The best way to measure flour is by using the spoon and level method. Spoon the flour into the measuring cup until it is overflowing, and then level it off with the back of a knife.
