Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 6 servings

  • 2 cups whole milk

  • 1/4 cup white vinegar

  • 2 1/2 cups flour

  • 3/4 cup sugar

  • 2 teaspoons baking powder

  • 1 teaspoon baking soda

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • 3 large eggs

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 1 tablespoon butter, softened, or as needed, for greasing, plus more for serving

  • toppings of choice, e.g. maple syrup or fruit, for serving

Directions

  1. Preheat a griddle to 300 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  2. Stir together milk and vinegar in a small bowl or a 4-cup liquid measuring cup.

  3. Whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a second bowl.

  4. Beat eggs in a large bowl until smooth. Add vanilla and milk mixture; whisk together. Add flour mixture to bowl with egg mixture and whisk until just combined. (Batter will be lumpy.) Let rest 3 minutes and gently stir again.

  5. Melt some butter on the griddle, then carefully wipe with a paper towel. (You want just a bit of a sheen; don’t overgrease the griddle.) Spoon batter in 1/3-cup portions onto griddle. Cook until bubbles form on surface of batter, about 2 1/2 minutes.

  6. Flip pancakes and cook until browned on the other side, about 1 1/2 minutes more. Repeat with remaining batter. Serve immediately with butter and toppings.
