Ingredients

2 cups All purpose flour (250g)
4 Tablespoon white sugar
2 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
2 large eggs room temperature
4 Tablespoons unsalted butter melted
1 cup (280 ml) milk room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
butter for cooking the hotcakes

Instructions

Sift the flour thru a fine-meshed strainer over a large mixing bowl. Set aside.
2 cups All purpose flour (250g), 4 Tablespoon white sugar, 2 teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon salt
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, melted butter, milk and vanilla extract.
2 large eggs, 4 Tablespoons unsalted butter, 1 cup (280 ml) milk, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and whisk until everything is incorporated. About 1 minute. Do not overbeat (small lumps are fine).
Heat a large nonstick griddle or skillet, over low heat for about 5 minutes. Add a little butter to the skillet (about ½ tablespoon) and turn heat up to medium–low.
Using a measuring ¼ cup, ladle batter into the skillet. If you are using a large skillet or a griddle, repeat once or twice, taking care not to crowd the cooking surface with pancakes.
Flip pancakes after bubbles rise to surface and bottoms brown, about 2 to 4 minutes. Cook until the other sides are lightly browned.
Serve hotcakes immediately as they are ready, or keep them warm in a 200 degree oven until ready to serve.

Notes

Make sure the eggs and milk are at room temperature to keep the butter from solidifying.
For fluffy pancakes, make sure not to over beat the batter. It's okay to have a little lumps left on the batter.
