Hotcakes Recipe

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

Steps

1. 1

   Sift the flour thru a fine-meshed strainer over a large mixing bowl. Set aside.

2. 2

   In a separate bowl,  whisk together the eggs, melted butter, milk and vanilla extract.

3. 3

   Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and whisk until everything is incorporated. About 1 minute. Do not overbeat (small lumps are fine).

4. 4

   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.

5. 5

   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.

6. 6

   Flip pancakes after bubbles rise to surface and bottoms brown, about 2 to 4 minutes. Cook until the other sides are lightly browned.

7. 7

   Serve hotcakes immediately as they are ready, or keep them warm in a 200 degree oven until ready to serve.
