Instructions

- Beat eggs in a medium-sized bowl.
- Alternately mix in eggs and milk into the beaten eggs.
- Add melted butter and a dash of salt to the mixture.

Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter pancake, separate the egg whites and beat them until stiff peaks form before folding them into the batter. You can substitute whole wheat flour for a healthier twist or almond milk for a dairy-free option. Ensure your baking dish is well-greased to prevent sticking, and consider adding vanilla extract for extra flavor. This recipe can be easily doubled for larger gatherings.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the pancakes warm, drizzled with maple syrup or fruit syrup for added sweetness. They pair wonderfully with fresh fruit like berries or sliced bananas, or even a dollop of yogurt. For a complete breakfast, consider serving alongside crispy bacon or sausage. This dish also complements well with warm applesauce for a comforting touch.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover pancakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in a toaster oven or conventional oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes, or microwave for 30-60 seconds until warmed through. They can also be frozen for up to 2 months; just layer with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
