Equipment

  • Skillet

Ingredients

  • ¾ cup plain flour
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter plus more if needed for cooking
  • A pinch of ground nutmeg
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1 ¼ cups whole milk
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 large eggs

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare Your Batter

  • First, gather all of your ingredients. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, nutmeg, and sea salt. Then, crack the eggs into the dry ingredients, followed by the milk and vanilla extract. Whisk until the batter is smooth with no lumps.
  • Let it rest for about 10 minutes. This allows the flour to absorb moisture, which results in a richer flavor.

Step 2: Heat the Pan

  • Grab your nonstick skillet and heat it over medium-low heat. Once it’s hot, add a teaspoon of melted butter and swirl it around to coat the bottom of the pan. The butter should sizzle softly but not brown.

Step 3: Cook the Pancakes

  • Pour about a ¼ cup of batter into the skillet, tilting it slightly to spread the batter evenly across the surface. Cook for about 2 minutes or until the edges appear dry and the surface bubbles gently.
  • Carefully flip the pancake over and cook for an additional minute until golden brown. Place the pancake on a plate and repeat with the remaining batter. Remember to add more butter as needed to prevent sticking.

Step 4: Serve and Enjoy

  • These pancakes are best served warm! Arrange them in a stack and top with your chosen delights. Whether it’s berries, syrup, or whipped cream, let your creativity run wild.

Notes

  • Use Room Temperature Ingredients: This helps the batter blend smoothly for a silky finish.
  • Let the Batter Rest: Allowing time for the flour to hydrate makes a noticeable difference in texture.
  • Watch the Heat: Medium-low is key! Too high, and you risk burning them.
  • Keep Them Warm: If making a large batch, keep pancakes warm in a low oven (about 200°F) while you finish cooking.
  • Experiment with Flavors: Add a pinch of cinnamon or lemon zest to change things up!
