Ingredients
 

  • 2 eggs (large)
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter (melted)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp Olive Oil
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 2 ½ cups all purpose flour (leveled)
  • 3 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • Non Stick Cooking Spray

Instructions
 

  • Whisk together eggs, sugar and melted butter until combined. 
  • Add in the vanilla, oil and milk, mix until combined.
  • Add in the flour, baking powder and salt.
  • Blend together until batter forms, it will be thick but should not be lumpy.
  • Heat a skillet of griddle
  • Spray the center with cooking spray
  • Spoon 1/3 cup of batter into the center, cook for about 2 mins
  • Flip once bubbles appear on the top and cook for an addition 1-1.5 mins
  • Repeat with remaining batter

Notes

  • For perfectly round and even pancakes, cook one at a time.
  • You can use vegetable oil in place of olive oil
  • If the pan begins to burn the cooking spray, rinse the pan under cold water to cool it off
  • Make sure the fire is set to medium low, this helps preventing uncooked batter in the center.
Storage
  • Left over pancakes can be frozen, separate each with parchment and place inside of a ziplock page for easy access.
  • Reheat for one min in the microwave
