Ingredients
3 eggs
2 cups milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
Butter, for serving
Maple syrup, for serving
Tips
Don't overmix the batter; it will make your pancakes tough, flat, and rubbery.
Letting the batter sit for 5 to 10 minutes will result in fluffier pancakes.
If you're cooking various batches, keep the cooked pancakes warm on a baking sheet in a low oven.
Variations
While delicious on their own, these basic vanilla pancakes are easy to customize:
A few sprinkles of ground cinnamon adds warm spice.
Replace up to half of the flour with white whole-wheat flour for a healthier breakfast.
Before flipping your pancakes, sprinkle the tops with mini chocolate chips, blueberries, raspberries, or thinly sliced bananas.
Swap the maple syrup for a fruit syrup, warm fruit compote, or fresh fruit and whipped cream.
