Method

  1. Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg in a large bowl, whisking together.

  2. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then whisk in the milk and vanilla.

  3. Melt the butter in a large cast-iron skillet or griddle over medium to medium-low heat.

  4. Whisk the melted butter into the milk mixture, then add the mixture to the flour mixture. Whisk until a thick batter is formed.

  5. Using a ladle, pour about 1/4 cup of the batter onto the skillet to make a pancake. Ensure that the pancakes are evenly spaced apart.

  6. Cook the pancakes on medium to medium-low heat until bubbles appear on the surface and the undersides are golden brown (approximately 2 minutes).

  7. Flip the pancakes with a spatula and cook for approximately 1 more minute on the second side.

  8. Serve the pancakes immediately or transfer them to a platter and cover loosely with foil to keep them warm.

  9. Repeat the process with the remaining batter, adding more butter to the skillet as needed.

Frequently asked questions

. Can I freeze leftover flapjacks?

Yes, you can freeze leftover flapjacks! Simply let them cool completely, then stack them with a layer of wax paper in between each one. Place the stack in a freezer-safe bag or container and store in the freezer for up to 3 months. To reheat, simply pop them in the toaster or microwave.

. Can I make flapjacks without eggs?
