Ingredients:
Instructions:
- In a large mixing bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them until well beaten.
- Add the milk and vanilla extract to the eggs. Whisk together until fully combined.
- In a separate bowl, combine the self-raising flour and sugar. Mix well to ensure that the sugar is evenly distributed throughout the flour.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the bowl with the wet ingredients. Whisk gently until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the pancakes tough.
- Place a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Allow it to heat up thoroughly. You can test if it's hot enough by sprinkling a few drops of water on the surface; if the water sizzles and evaporates, it's ready.
- Lightly grease the skillet with a small amount of butter or a non-stick cooking spray.
- Use a ladle or a measuring cup to pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Space pancakes at least an inch apart to allow for spreading and easy flipping.
- Cook until bubbles form on the surface of the pancakes and the edges start to look set, about 2-3 minutes.
- Carefully flip the pancakes with a spatula and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until they are golden brown on both sides and cooked through.
- Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate and cover with a clean towel to keep them warm while you cook the remaining batter.
- Serve your pancakes warm with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, fresh fruit, whipped cream, or a sprinkle of powdered sugar.
Tips:
- Make sure to preheat your griddle or frying pan to medium heat before cooking the pancakes.
- Avoid over-mixing the batter as it can lead to dense, tough pancakes. Mix just until combined.
- Let the batter rest for a few minutes before cooking to allow the ingredients to fully integrate.
- Use a ladle or measuring cup to pour the batter onto the griddle for evenly sized pancakes.
- When you see bubbles forming on the surface of the pancakes and the edges look set, it's time to flip them.
- Keep cooked pancakes warm in the oven at 200°F (90°C) while you finish cooking the rest of the batch.
- Experiment with mix-ins like chocolate chips, blueberries, or banana slices to add some variety to your pancakes.
There you have it, a quick and easy recipe for delightful pancakes that can make any morning special. Enjoy them fresh off the griddle with your favorite toppings for the perfect breakfast treat. With this simple recipe, you can effortlessly turn any day into a pancake day!
