Classic Fluffy Pancakes

Instructions

1. 1

   In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and granulated sugar.

2. 2

   In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then add the low-fat milk, melted unsalted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix well.

3. 3

   Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently whisk until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine.

4. 4

   Let the batter rest for 5 minutes to allow the baking powder to activate.

5. 5

   Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with a small amount of butter or oil if needed.

6. 6

   Pour about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.

7. 7

   Flip the pancakes and cook for another 1-2 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through.

8. 8

   Serve warm with your favorite toppings such as fresh fruit, syrup, or a dusting of powdered sugar.
