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:
- Half Sheet Baking Pan
- Whisk
Instructions:
-
Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large sheet pan (18x13 inches) with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
-
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
-
Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the eggs. Add the milk, melted butter (or oil), and vanilla extract. Stir to combine.
-
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.
-
Pour and Spread: Pour the pancake batter onto the prepared sheet pan. Use a spatula to spread it out evenly across the pan.
-
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.
-
Serve: Once the pancakes are baked, remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Cut into squares or rectangles.
-
Add Toppings: Top with your favorite pancake toppings like fresh berries, syrup, whipped cream, or a sprinkle of powdered sugar.
