  • 0.5 tsp kosher salt

  • 6 tbsp salted butter melted
  • 0.25 tsp almond extract
  • 2/3 cup strawberries chopped
  • 2/3 cup blueberries
  • 2/3 cup chocolate chips
  • 1 ripe banana mashed
  • 3 tbsp sugar
  • 2 tsp vinegar
  • 3 tbsp butter

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • In another bowl, mix together milk, egg, and vanilla extract.
  • Combine the wet and dry ingredients. Stir in melted butter until just mixed.

Cooking

  • Heat up a skillet over medium heat.
  • Pour in some batter and cook until bubbles form on the surface.
  • Flip and cook until golden brown.

Sheet Pan Pancakes

  • Mix all ingredients together.
  • Pour into a greased sheet pan and bake at 350°F (175°C) for about 20 minutes.

Mini Pancakes

  • Follow the same steps as the fluffy pancakes, but use a smaller skillet or griddle.

Pancake Muffins

  • Combine the dry ingredients in one bowl, the wet in another, and mix together.
  • Pour into muffin tins and bake at 350°F (175°C) until golden.

Notes

Serve pancakes warm off the skillet with toppings like maple syrup, fresh fruits, whipped cream, or chocolate syrup. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days or freeze wrapped in plastic wrap for up to two months. Don’t overmix the batter; a few lumps are fine. Ensure the skillet is hot before pouring in the batter for a nice golden color.
