Ingredients
1.5 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon fine salt
3 tablespoons sugar
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
2 large eggs, at room temperature
1.25 cups whole milk
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, and nutmeg until well combined.
In a separate medium bowl, beat the eggs until well combined, then add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Stir until fully incorporated.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. The batter should be slightly lumpy; do not overmix.
Heat a griddle or non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly butter or oil the surface.
Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges appear set, about 2-3 minutes.
Flip each pancake and cook the other side until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes more.
Transfer cooked pancakes to a plate and repeat with remaining batter. Serve warm with your choice of toppings.
Comments
Every ingredient is a staple at any Charlotte grocery chain—flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, nutmeg, eggs, milk, butter, and vanilla are grocery-store standards with no special stops required. At roughly $0.60 to $0.80 per serving, this is genuinely cheap, driven by bulk pantry items rather than proteins or specialty goods. The stated 35 minutes is honest for mixing and cooking eight servings, though a home cook doing this for the first time might run five minutes longer. This is a true weeknight win for families: it's straightforward, feeds eight, requires no constant attention past the initial batter mixing, and reheats well in a toaster or oven, though fresh-cooked pancakes are superior.
