Classic American Pancakes

Instructions

1. 1

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

2. 2

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

3. 3

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

4. 4

   Preheat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly coat with nonstick spray.

5. 5

   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.

6. 6

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

7. 7

   Transfer cooked pancakes to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter, adding more nonstick spray as needed.

8. 8

   Serve warm with your favorite toppings.
