<\/figure>\n\n\n\nHow to make Pancakes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, brown sugar, baking powder and salt. Then stir in the wet ingredients: milk, vanilla extract, large egg and two tablespoons of melted butter. The batter should be cohesive, but it doesn’t have to be 100% lump free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you are using an electric, nonstick griddle, heat to around 350\u00b0F-375\u00b0F. Once heated, pour 1\/4 cup of pancake batter onto the hot surface. After 1-2 minutes, you should see bubbles forming in the batter. Use a spatula and flip the pancake over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Continue to cook on the second side 1-2 minutes, the pancake will be golden brown when done. Remove the cooked pancake to a plate and brush with some of the remaining melted butter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you are cooking the pancakes in a pan or nonstick skillet on the stovetop, heat the pan over medium heat. Then melt a little butter and oil in the pan and spoon 1\/4 cup of pancake batter onto the hot surface. After 1-2 minutes you should see bubbles forming in the batter. Use a spatula and flip the pancake over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Continue to cook on the other side 1-2 minutes. Remove the cooked pancake to a plate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Continue to cook until you’ve used all the batter. Serve warm with your favorite accompaniments like maple syrup, peanut butter or Nutella. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\nTips & Substitutions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n- You can substitute the brown sugar or granulated white sugar if needed, although we like the flavor brown sugar adds to the batter.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- You can substitute the milk or a non-dairy alternative like soy milk or oat milk. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
- You can use a non-dairy butter substitute in place of the butter in this recipe, like margarine\/vegan butter.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- I will use a 1\/4 cup measuring cup to spoon the batter as I cook if I am wanting to make 12 pancakes or keep them the same size. You don’t have to measure though and you can easily make these pancakes a little larger or smaller. If they are quite a bit larger or smaller, you may need to adjust the cooking time.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- When cooking with our toddler, we often let him add some food coloring to the milk as we make the batter. So, pancakes are often blue or green at our house. \ud83d\ude42<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
