How are pancakes made?

1. Gather the ingredients: You will need ingredients like flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, eggs, milk, and butter. Some recipes may also call for additional ingredients like vanilla extract, chocolate chips, or fruit.

2. Mix the dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Whisk them together to ensure they are evenly combined.

3. Mix the wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and melted butter. You can also add any additional liquid ingredients, such as vanilla extract, here.

4. Combine the wet and dry ingredients: Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the bowl containing the dry ingredients. Use a whisk or spatula to gently fold them together until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter, as this can result in tough pancakes.

5. Heat a pan: Place a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add a little butter or cooking oil to grease the pan.

6. Pour the batter: Once the pan is hot, use a ladle or measuring cup to pour the batter onto the pan. Make sure to leave enough space between each pancake to allow them to spread and cook evenly.

7. Cook the pancakes: Cook the pancakes for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. You can flip them using a spatula when bubbles start to form on the surface and the edges look dry.

8. Serve the pancakes: Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate. Serve them while they are still warm with your favorite toppings, such as butter, syrup, fruit, whipped cream, or chocolate chips.
