Easiest Pancakes Ever – America’s Test Kitchen Serves 4-6 people Ingredients: • 2 cups of all purpose flour • 3 TBSP sugar • 4 tsp baking powder aluminum-free (it’s double what you find in other recipes. It will make for tall fluffy pancakes) • 1 tsp salt • ½ tsp baking soda (adds a bit tang and helps with browning) • 2 large eggs • ¼ vegetable oil • 1-1/2 cups of whole milk • ½ tsp vanilla extract Directions: Notes: Use two separate bowls, one for dry and one for wet. Your bowl for the dry ingredients should be large enough for all ingredients and enough height to allow for mixing of all ingredients. 1. Whisk dry ingredients together until fully incorporated. 2. Lightly beat eggs and vegetable oil together. 3. Add milk and vanilla extract and lightly beat. 4. Add wet ingredients to dry and lightly whisk. A lumpy batter makes for a thicker batter, which makes for taller pancakes. You can make your batter thicker with less liquid, but that will make them dry – don’t do that. 5. Let rest for 10 minutes. You want to hydrate those lumps. Texture should be clumpy and thick. 6. Set a griddle to 350°F. You can use a non-stick pan and follow step 8 to check your pan’s temperature if you don’t have a tool to measure surface temp. 7. Pour ½ tsp oil on the surface of griddle/pan. Smooth out with a paper towel to make for a nice even, thin film across the surface. Puddles of oil will make for spotty pancakes. 8. Optional: You can test the heat of your grill by scooping 1 TBSP of batter onto the middle of the griddle/pan and cooking for 1 minute and flip. It should be a golden brown color. 9. Use a 1/4 -cup measuring cup to scoop your batter. Smooth out to a nice 4-inch round. 10. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on the first side. Bottom should be a nice golden brown. 11. Flip and cook for 1-2 minutes on the other side. 12. Follow step 7 for each new batch on the pan. 13. You can keep them warm until serving by placing them in a 200°F oven on a cookie sheet with a wire rack. 14. Serve with butter and your favorite syrup.

Here's a tip if you feel lazy in the morning: Mix the dry ingredients the night before and cover it. You'll have a lot less measuring in the morning. Just add the wet ingredients the next day. You can also substitute buttermilk for the milk in the recipe. Buttermilk adds great flavor to the pancakes or waffles.

5:06 At our house we do both... We all sit down together at the table, but we put the griddle in the middle of the table. So it's a bit of a show. The first 3 people get a pair of pancakes and by the time the next 3 pair are off the griddle... people are ready for seconds! And everyone (including Mom) is in the conversation and ready to start the day! 💖🌞

That laughter when they talk about the portion size... chef’s kiss

The key to flipping pancakes is not to let them know you are scared. They can sense fear!

Great video. No fluff - just straight to the recipe. Years ago when I used to go camping, I would bring the dry ingredients for my favourite pancakes pre-measured in a bag. Loved cooking them over a campfire.

Made my first homemade pancakes, using this recipe, this morning. Previously, I had only used pre-mixed batters. This recipe was everything the hosts said it was. Easy without requiring higher end tools such as electric mixers, and it turned out fluffy and tasty. Thank you.

Made these pancakes this morning here in England - absolutely fabulous! They were light and fluffy, went down a treat. I didn't have any baking soda so used another half a teaspoon of baking powder instead. Thank you very much.

..... Bridget...👏🏻💛.... Love her sense of humour, she's so witty and " sarcastic/ funny "... .. These two ladies have such good chemistry that plays off of one another, ... It's fun to watch, and the recipes are soooo good. ☺️

My grandmother taught us to make a tiny test pancake. She also told us to leave lumps in the batter. I agree that it's nice to make them with a bit of vanilla. " Cultured" butter is delicious. Best new discovery for me in years regarding food

I grew up on a small Rhode Island farm and our pancakes had corn in them. Take a handful or two of fresh or frozen corn and mix it in the batter. Top your pancakes with butter and Vermont Maple Syrup. You won't be disappointed!

I have watched these ladies as a child and these two are my favorites

I have NEVER tasted such amazing pancakes. I don't even eat them with syrup and my picky daughter doesnt either. I have already made this recipe about 6 times and they never get old. Thanks a million ! All the recipes Ive ever tried on this channel have been a game changer for me. Thanks ladies xoxo

This looks AHMAZING! I've been searching for a pancake recipe to use and I finally found it! Thank you!!

This chef woman is delightful. What wonderful energy and helpful enthusiastic teaching. Thank you

You know, when Chris left I thought this show had jumped the shark. I love the banter from you both and I'm now convinced it's better than ever. You share the spotlight in the different segments which is perfect. Thanks for bringing the show to youtube... love the new people - bringing Dan from out of the back room and Elle!

I am so happy that I found you women!!! I'm loving your videos and getting better in the kitchen - at age 75!!!

It’s past 1am and this video just started playing and all my kids started craving pancakes after listening to your video on my iPad so I made them and they were the best we have ever ate. I can tell you I had to make an extra batch before they all went to bed and let me do my job. Thank you, now you have a subscriber for life. I was requested to test all your meals.

I love listening to you two! I come looking for your takes on recipes when I need them and you never disappoint. The recipes are approachable, the methods are straight forward and well demonstrated and you two are just a stitch to watch. I'm off now to make pancakes. Thanks again for doing these.
