Ingredients diff
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 1 1/4 cups whole milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Steps diff
- Heat a griddle to medium (about 375F) while you mix the batter.
- Whisk dry ingredients in one bowl and wet in another, then combine just until no dry flour remains.
- Rest the batter 5 minutes so it hydrates and thickens slightly.
- Portion onto the griddle and cook until bubbles pop and edges look set, then flip once.
- Cook 1 to 2 minutes more until golden and springy, then serve warm.
Technique notes diff
- Do-not-overmix batter | Less gluten development means more tenderness. | Overmixed batter yields dense, rubbery pancakes.
- Heat staging and carryover control | Managing burner intensity and resting windows prevents overshoot from residual heat after active cooking. | This sequence relies on brief finishing steps where controlled carryover keeps texture and flavor balanced.
