The story

These are the kind of pancakes to make when you want a tall, soft stack without a lot of fuss. Keep the mixing light and wait for the bubbles before you flip.
Make it

Method

  1. Whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a large bowl.

  2. Add the milk or buttermilk, eggs, and melted butter. Whisk just until the dry streaks disappear. A few small lumps are fine.

  3. Heat a griddle or nonstick skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface if needed.

    About 3 min
  4. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot surface for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form across the top and the edges begin to look set.

    About 2 min
  5. Flip each pancake and cook for 1 to 2 minutes more, until the second side is golden and the center is cooked through.

    About 2 min
  6. Serve warm with butter, maple syrup, fresh fruit, or your favorite toppings.
