Instructions
Preparing the batter
- Combine dry ingredients in a bowl.
- Add milk to the dry ingredients one cup at a time. Whisk vigorously between additions to avoid lumps in the batter.
- Add eggs to the batter. Whisk vigorously.
- Add melted butter, whisk again.
Cooking the pancakes
- Heat a frying pan over medium to medium-high heat. Add a small amount of butter to grease the pan (unless non-stick).
- Pour a small amount of batter into the hot pan. (Roughly ¼ cup of batter for a 10" pan.) Swirl the batter around in the pan to distribute it into a thin layer.
- Cook approximately 90 seconds, until the edges begin to turn golden brown. Turn the pancake when it starts to brown. (Once the batter sets up, you can also carefully peek at the underside to check progress.) Cook the opposite side for 60-90 seconds.
