Servings: 12
Calories: 135kcal
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour 260 grams
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar 43 grams
- 1 teaspoon baking powder 4 grams
- ½ teaspoon baking soda 3 grams
- 1 teaspoon salt 3 grams
- 2 large eggs
- 1 1/2 cups whole milk 12 ounces
- 2 tablespoons melted butter 1 ounce
- Butter or shortening for frying
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, beat the eggs using an electric hand mixer on medium speed until the eggs are light and frothy (about 2 minutes).
- Add the milk and mix again until combined (10-20 seconds)
- Add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix just until combined with the electric mixer on low speed (about 10 seconds).
- Add in the melted butter. Use a rubber spatula to finish folding together the batter. It’s ok if there are a few lumps of flour. Do not overmix.
- Heat a cast iron skillet over medium low heat (I set our oven on 3 out of 6). Add about a tablespoon of butter and allow it to melt. (Butter gives amazing flavor, but if you use oil or shortening to fry the pancakes, it will give them a crispy, gold brown edge.)
- Use a ⅓ cup measuring cup to scoop and pour pancake batter into a hot skillet. (Make two pancakes at a time if your skillet is large enough)
- Allow it to cook for two minutes until the top of the pancake has bubbles.
- Then flip and cook on the other side for another minute or until the pancakes is cooked through.
- Add ½ tablespoon of butter to the skillet and make another pancake. Continue this until the remaining batter is all cooked.
- Serve with butter, maple syrup and fresh fruit.
