Ingredients:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups milk
  • 1/4 cup melted butter (or vegetable oil)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Optional toppings: fresh fruit, syrup, whipped cream, chocolate chips, or nuts

Equipment:

Instructions:

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large sheet pan (18x13 inches) with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

  3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the eggs. Add the milk, melted butter (or oil), and vanilla extract. Stir to combine.

  4. Combine: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; it's okay if the batter is a little lumpy.

  5. Pour and Spread: Pour the pancake batter onto the prepared sheet pan. Use a spatula to spread it out evenly across the pan.

  6. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes or until the pancakes are golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

  7. Serve: Once the pancakes are baked, remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Cut into squares or rectangles.

  8. Add Toppings: Top with your favorite pancake toppings like fresh berries, syrup, whipped cream, or a sprinkle of powdered sugar.

Enjoy your easy, family-friendly sheet pan pancakes!
