Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 ¾ cups milk
- 2 eggs
- ¼ cup melted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Toppings (Optional)
- Melted chocolate
- Berries
- Sliced banana
- Other toppings of your choice
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Grease a 9×13-inch sheet pan with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking. For extra nonstick assurance, line the pan with parchment paper.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. This ensures even distribution of the leavening agents that help make the pancakes fluffy and light.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until fully combined. The butter adds richness while eggs help bind the batter.
- Combine Wet and Dry: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture. Stir gently until just combined. It’s okay if the batter has some lumps; overmixing can make the pancakes tough.
- Pour Batter into Pan: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared sheet pan, spreading it gently to cover all edges.
- Add Toppings: If desired, sprinkle your choice of toppings such as melted chocolate, berries, or sliced bananas evenly over the batter before baking.
- Bake: Place the sheet pan in the preheated oven and bake for about 15 minutes, or until the pancake is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. For crispier edges, bake an additional 1-2 minutes.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the pan from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Use a knife or pizza cutter to slice the sheet pancake into squares or rectangles. Serve warm with maple syrup, fresh fruit, or a dusting of powdered sugar.
Notes
- Do not overmix the batter to keep pancakes light and fluffy.
- Use parchment paper for easier cleanup and to prevent sticking.
- Customize with your favorite toppings for added flavor and texture.
- For crispier edges, extend baking time by a minute or two.
- This recipe is great for feeding a crowd or meal prepping breakfasts ahead.
