\nExact Step-by-Step Method (no lumps, maximum fluff)<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. **Pre-heat your pan or griddle NOW<\/span>
    \n\u2192 Medium-low heat (cast iron or non-stick). A drop of water should dance, not explode.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together:<\/span>
    \ndiscard + eggs + milk + melted butter\/oil + sugar + vanilla<\/span>
    \nWhisk for 30\u201345 seconds, until completely smooth.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
  3. In a small bowl, mix the dry ingredients:<\/span>
    \nflour + baking powder + baking soda + salt<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
  4. Dump all the dry ingredients into the wet bowl at once.<\/span>
    \nFold gently with a whisk or spatula exactly 10\u201312 strokes.<\/span>
    \n\u2192 There should still be a few small lumps. Over-mixing = tough pancakes.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
  5. Rest the batter 3\u20135 minutes (optional, but it makes them even fluffier while the leavening activates).<\/li>\n
  6. Lightly grease the pan with butter or oil.<\/span>
    \nScoop ~\u2153 cup (80 ml) batter per pancake.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
  7. Cook 2\u20133 minutes on the first side \u2192 wait for bubbles all across the surface, and edges look set.<\/span>
    \nFlip \u2192 cook another 60\u201390 seconds until golden.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
  8. Serve immediately with maple syrup, fresh fruit, whipped cream, or just butter.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
