Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 14 oz evaporated milk
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tbsp butter melted
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  • In a medium bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Mix well.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together evaporated milk, egg, butter and vanilla extract. Whisk until creamy. Gradually add the flour mixture, stirring until batter is free of lumps.
  • Place a skillet over medium heat and spray generously with cooking spray. Add the batter to the hot skillet in 1/4-cup increments. Cook for about 3 minutes on each side.
  • Repeat until the batter is gone, spraying the skillet with cooking spray before each new batch. Spread butter over warm pancakes and pour syrup over the tops.

Notes

  • Add 1/2 cup of pumpkin puree to create pumpkin pancakes!
  • Don't toss leftover pancakes! They can be reheated the next day in the microwave. Heat in 30-second increments until warmed through.
  • Use a 1/4 cup measuring cup to scoop batter so the pancakes are consistently the same sizes.
  • You can opt to allow the batter to sit at room temperature for approximately 30 minutes before cooking. The resting time allows the flour to absorb the liquid, ensuring a light and fluffy end result.
