• Ready to embark on this pancake-making journey?
• This recipe is simple and perfect for any skill level. From someone who’s spent countless mornings testing various pancake recipes, trust me when I say this one stands out for its texture and flavor. Let’s dive into the steps!

Step 1: Prepare Your Ingredients

• Gather all your ingredients on the counter. This means getting out the eggs, milk, oils, dry ingredients, and any tools you might need, like mixing bowls and measuring cups.
• Having everything at your fingertips will streamline the process. Plus, it keeps your kitchen tidy.

Step 2: Mix the Wet Ingredients

• In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Blending these ingredients well will ensure a nice consistency in your pancake batter. The whisk is your best friend here.
• I always take a moment to enjoy the creamy texture of the mixture as I whisk—there’s something soothing about it.

Step 3: Combine the Dry Ingredients

• In a separate bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, sea salt, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Make sure everything is blended evenly. This step is critical as it helps to evenly distribute the baking powder, which is crucial for that fluffiness we’re aiming for.

Step 4: Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients

• Slowly add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients. Stir gently with a spoon or spatula until just combined. I’ve learned that over-mixing can lead to dense pancakes, and nobody wants that! A few lumps are perfectly fine.

Step 5: Heat the Griddle

• Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. If you want to check if it’s hot enough, drop a little water on the pan. If it dances and evaporates, you’re ready.

Step 6: Pour the Batter

• Using a ladle, pour about a ¼ cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Allow the pancakes to cook until bubbles form on the surface, then carefully flip them over. Each side should be lightly golden brown, creating a beautiful texture and flavor contrast.

Step 7: Serve and Enjoy

• Once cooked, stack them on a plate. Serve warm with butter, syrup, or even some whipped cream if you’re feeling indulgent. You’ll want to take a moment to admire your masterpiece before diving in.
