Method

  1. In a large bowl, combine 2 cups (250 g) all-purpose flour, 4 Tbsp. (50 g) baking powder, ¼ cup (50 g) granulated sugar, and 2 tsp. Diamond Crystal or 1¼ tsp. Morton kosher salt. Whisk them together until well combined, which should take about 30 seconds.

  2. Next, separate 2 large eggs. Put the egg whites in a small bowl and transfer the egg yolks to a medium bowl. Add 6 Tbsp. melted unsalted butter (make sure it has cooled slightly) to the egg yolks and whisk them together until combined. Then, whisk in 2½ cups of whole milk. Note that the butter may form small clumps, especially if the milk is very cold. Pour this milk mixture into the dry ingredients and whisk everything together until just combined. Make sure there are no large dry pockets of flour remaining. The batter will be thin and very lumpy, but that's okay.

  3. Lightly whisk the egg whites to break them up, and then add them to the batter. Gently whisk everything together until just combined. Let the batter sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes, until it becomes noticeably puffy and thick.

  4. Heat a large nonstick griddle or skillet over medium heat (if using an electric griddle, heat it to 325°). Stir the batter gently to deflate any large air bubbles. Working in batches, scoop ¼-cup

Frequently asked questions

A1: Absolutely! You can substitute eggs with mashed bananas, applesauce, or even yogurt for a vegan-friendly option.

Q2: Can I use whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour?

A2: Yes, you can. Whole wheat flour will give your pancakes a slightly nuttier flavor and a denser texture.

Q3: How do I prevent my pancakes from sticking to the pan?

A3: Make sure to grease your skillet or griddle with butter or cooking spray before pouring the batter. This will help prevent sticking.

Q4: Can I freeze leftover pancakes?

A4: Absolutely! Simply let them cool completely, stack them in an airtight container, and pop them in the freezer. When you're ready to enjoy them, just reheat them in the toaster or microwave.

A5: Yes, you can prepare the batter the night before and store it in the refrigerator. Just give it a good stir before cooking the pancakes.
