Ingredients:
- 1 ½ cups All-Purpose Flour (180 g)
- 2 Tbsp Granulated Sugar (25 g)
- 1 ½ tsp Baking Powder (7 g)
- 1 tsp ground Cinnamon (5 g)
- ½ tsp Fine Sea Salt (3 g)
- 3 Large Eggs
- 1 cup Whole Milk (240 ml)
- 4 Tbsp Unsalted Butter, melted (57 g)
- 1 ½ tsp Pure Vanilla Extract (7 ml)
- Butter or Neutral Oil for cooking
Instructions:
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt until evenly distributed.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs until slightly foamy. Add the milk and vanilla extract, mixing until incorporated. Slowly stream in the melted butter (ensure it is not hot).
- Pour the wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently fold using a rubber spatula just until the flour streaks disappear. Do not overmix; lumps are acceptable.
- Heat an electric griddle or large non-stick skillet over medium-low heat (approx. 325°F/160°C) and lightly grease the surface.
- Test the temperature by dropping a few water droplets; they should sizzle and evaporate instantly.
- Pour ¼ cup of batter for each pancake onto the hot griddle, spacing them apart.
- Cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles break the surface and the edges look set. Flip when the bottom is light golden brown.
- Finish cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes on the second side until fully cooked through and golden brown.
- Transfer finished pancakes to a wire rack. Stack high and serve immediately with desired toppings like maple syrup and fresh berries.
