  • 4 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • milk

Instructions

Tips & Substitutions

For extra fluffy pancakes, separate the egg whites and beat them until stiff peaks form, then fold them into the batter at the end. If you're out of self-rising flour, you can substitute with all-purpose flour and add 1.5 teaspoons of baking powder per cup. To enhance flavor, consider adding a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the batter.

Serving Suggestions

These pancakes are delightful served with butter and warm maple syrup. For a fun twist, add fresh fruit or chocolate chips to the batter. They pair beautifully with a side of crispy bacon or sausage, and for a refreshing touch, consider serving with a portion of Dreamy Frozen Fruit Salad on the side.

Storage & Reheating

Store leftover pancakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in a toaster or on a skillet over low heat until warmed through. For longer storage, freeze pancakes in a single layer on a baking sheet, then transfer to a freezer bag for up to 2 months.
