Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ tablespoons baking powder
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- ½ teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 2 cups milk, at room temperature
- ⅓ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs, beaten
Toppings and Others
- Cooking spray
- Sliced strawberries
- Blueberries
- Banana slices
- Chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it is hot and ready for baking the pancakes evenly throughout.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt to combine and aerate the mixture, which helps create fluffy pancakes.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the room temperature milk, melted unsalted butter, vanilla extract, and beaten eggs until smooth and well mixed.
- Make the Batter: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold together until just combined. The batter should remain slightly lumpy; avoid overmixing to prevent dense pancakes.
- Prepare the Sheet Pan: Grease a large 13×18 inch (half sheet) pan with nonstick spray or brush with melted butter to prevent sticking.
- Pour and Spread Batter: Pour the batter into the prepared sheet pan and spread it evenly for uniform cooking.
- Add Toppings: Scatter your favorite toppings such as sliced strawberries, blueberries, banana slices, and chocolate chips across the top of the batter for added flavor and texture.
- Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the pancake is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, indicating it is fully cooked.
Notes
- Do not overmix the batter to keep the pancakes light and fluffy.
- Use fresh, ripe fruits for best flavor and texture.
- You can substitute milk with any plant-based milk for a dairy-free option.
- Check the pancake a few minutes before the end of baking time to avoid overbaking.
- Let the pancake cool slightly before slicing into squares for serving.
