Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 1/4 cup whole milk (300g)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (5g)
  • 4 tbs unsalted butter, melted (56g)
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar (110g)

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (240g)
  • 1/2 tsp salt (3g)
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon (3g)
  • 1 tbs baking powder (14g)

Instructions

  1. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla, melted butter, and brown sugar until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
  2. Combine Dry Ingredients: Sift the all-purpose flour, salt, cinnamon, and baking powder into the wet ingredient mixture. Whisk together until a smooth, slightly thin batter forms with just a few small lumps, aiming for a consistency similar to glue.
  3. Preheat Skillet: Heat a large skillet over medium-low heat, approximately 325°F (165°C), to ensure even cooking without burning.
  4. Prepare Skillet: Add a pat of butter to the preheated skillet to prevent sticking and promote lightly crisped edges on the pancakes.
  5. Cook Pancakes: Pour 1/4 cup of batter into the skillet for each pancake. Cook for about 1 minute and 30 seconds until the bottom is golden brown, then flip the pancake and cook the other side for an additional minute.
  6. Serve: Plate the cooked pancakes and serve warm with real maple syrup and butter for the best flavor experience.

Notes

  • Use whole milk for a richer batter, but you can substitute with any milk of choice.
  • For fluffier pancakes, avoid overmixing the batter once flour is added; a few lumps are okay.
  • Keep cooked pancakes warm in a low oven while completing the batch.
  • Adjust the cinnamon amount to taste for more or less spice.
  • Butter can be replaced with a neutral oil if preferred, though it may slightly change flavor and texture.
