Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

  1. 3 cups plus 2 tablespoons cake flour
  2. 3 tablespoons baking powder
  3. 2 tablespoons sugar
  4. 1/2 teaspoon salt
  5. 3 cups milk, plus more if needed for thinning
  6. 3 teaspoons vanilla
  7. 2 large eggs
  8. 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more for buttering the griddle

Instructions

  1. Pancake bar toppings: mini chocolate chips, fresh blueberries, flavored yogurt, sliced bananas and extra pats of butter
  2. Mix together the cake flour, baking powder, sugar and salt in a large bowl. Mix together the milk, vanilla and eggs in a separate bowl. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring very gently until just combined. Melt the butter and add it to the batter, stirring gently to combine. Stir in more milk if needed for thinning; the batter should not be overly thick.
  3. Set a griddle over medium-low heat and butter the surface when it’s hot. Use a 1/4-cup measure to drop the batter onto the griddle in batches. Fry the pancakes on both sides until golden, about 2 minutes per side.
  4. Serve with an assortment of your favorite pancake toppings, such as mini chocolate chips, fresh blueberries, flavored yogurt, sliced bananas and extra pats of butter.

Light and fluffy!  I make these frequently on Sat mornings. Easy to make.

My family says these taste just like ihop pancakes and they’re wonderful. I used the 3 cups of milk and they did not come out too runny. You do have to be very careful not to over stir the batter though
Antonio Peters

Laura Preston
I love it when Ree doesn’t use measurements–just add some of this or a whole lot of that, but her recipes are winners

Didn’t like too much

I made these yesterday and they were way too thin.  The recipe here on Food Network calls for 3 cups of milk; however, on Pioneer Woman’s website the recipe calls for only 2 cups of milk.  May want to fix the recipe here.
