Best Fluffy Pancakes

Yield: 12 pancakes
Prep Time: 5 min
Cook Time: 20 min

Ingredients

2 C all purpose flour (10 oz)
¼ C granulated sugar or sweetner (2 oz)
4 tsp baking powder
¼ tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt
1¾ C milk
¼ C butter (2 oz)
2 tsp pure vanilla extract
1 large egg

Instructions
  1. Combine together the flour, sugar (or sweetener), baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large-sized bowl. Make a well in the centre and add the milk, slightly cooled melted butter, vanilla and egg.
  2. Use a wire whisk to whisk the wet ingredients together first before slowly folding them into the dry ingredients. Mix together until smooth (there may be a couple of lumps but that's okay).

    (The batter will be thick and creamy in consistency. If you find the batter too thick -- doesn't pour off the ladle or out of the measuring cup smoothly -- fold a couple tablespoons of extra milk into the batter at a time until reaching desired consistency).
  3. Set the batter aside and allow to rest while heating up your pan or griddle.
  4. Heat a nonstick pan or griddle over low-medium heat and wipe over with a little butter to lightly grease pan. Pour ¼ cup of batter onto the pan and spread out gently into a round shape with the back of your ladle or measuring cup.
  5. When the underside is golden and bubbles begin to appear on the surface, flip with a spatula and cook until golden. Repeat with remaining batter.
  6. Serve with honey, maple syrup, fruit, ice cream or frozen yoghurt, breakfast meats (bacon, ham or sausage), or enjoy plain!>
Instructions for Cuisinart Griddler
  1. Mix pancake ingredients together as described above.
  2. Turn on the Cuisinart Griddler. Select Grill/Griddle and set temperature to 350°
  3. When preheated, use ¼ cup measure and drop batter onto preheated griddle. (If you like extra buttery pancakes, put 1 teaspoon of butter on each plate and melt before dropping batter.) Set the count up timer. Cook pancakes until bubbles form, about 4-5 minutes; flip and cook until done, about 3 minutes longer.
Tips
  1. Preheat good quality, nonstick pan or griddle on medium heat first. When it's hot, lower the heat to low-medium heat. Important: Wait two minutes. Lightly grease the pan with a small amount of butter, and wipe away any excess butter with a paper towel.
  2. Use a ¼ C meausring cup to pour batter for best-size pancakes. Start pouring from the middle, then countunue pouring slowly in circular motion so that batter spreads into perfect round shapes.
  3. Allow the pancakes to cook properly! Don’t rush them on high heat, or flip them too early. Let that under-side cook to a beautiful golden brown colour, and when bubbles start forming on top and around the surface (batter side), they are ready to flip.
  4. How to get that flip perfected without creating lopsided pancakes? Grab a good, plastic spatula and slide it underneath the pancake. Use your WRIST to gently flip them instead of using your whole arm. You’ll know what I mean when you’re in front of your pan ready to flip. THIS makes a HUGE difference.
  5. You can keep pancakes warm ona wire rack placed on a baking sheet in a 200° oven until all the batter is used.
