Ingredients

Instructions

Combine the dry ingredients in a medium bowl.
Melt the butter and allow to cool for a few minutes.
Lightly beat eggs in a medium size bowl, and add the milk, vanilla & cooled butter.
Add the wet mixture to the dry mixture and gently fold ingredients together until just combined, not worrying if there are a few lumps in the batter. Allow to sit for up to 30 minutes to allow mix to rise a bit, but not necessary.
On a warmed greased griddle add about ⅓ cup of batter and cook until bubbles appear on up side of pancake. Flip and cook through on the other side.
Serve with syrup and fresh fruit, adding in dollops of ricotta if have on hand.

Tips For Making These Pancakes

You can definitely toss in some protein powder or ground flax seed to make these basic pancakes healthier-ish, but then you'll be in the tinkering stage and you may not get the exact same results, in terms of texture, but they'll still surely taste great.

I highly suggest doubling or tripling the dry ingredient mix to have on hand for quick weekday stacks. Simply add in the wet ingredients and you're good to go.

Also note that the easy pancake batter will keep in the fridge for a couple of days if covered, so definitely hold onto unused mix and make the rest in the next couple of days.
