Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons baking powder
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups 2% milk
- 2 large eggs
- 8 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
Optional Toppings
- Fresh fruit of your choice
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Prepare a baking sheet by spraying it with nonstick cooking spray and set it aside to get ready for the batter.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Whisk together thoroughly to ensure all dry ingredients are evenly mixed.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, and the melted, slightly cooled butter until fully combined and smooth.
- Combine Wet and Dry: Pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredient bowl and gently mix until just combined. Be careful not to over mix to keep the pancakes light and fluffy.
- Pour Batter and Add Toppings: Pour the batter evenly onto the prepared baking sheet. If desired, add fresh fruit or other preferred toppings on top before baking.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes. The pancakes should be golden and cooked through.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and allow the sheet pan pancakes to cool slightly. Cut into squares and serve warm with your favorite syrup or additional toppings.
Notes
- Do not over mix the batter to ensure fluffy pancakes.
- You can customize toppings with fresh fruit, nuts, or chocolate chips before baking.
- Make sure to melt the butter and let it cool slightly before combining with the wet ingredients to avoid cooking the eggs prematurely.
- Use a rimmed baking sheet to prevent batter from spilling over in the oven.
- This recipe is great for serving multiple people quickly without flipping individual pancakes.
