Ingredients

How to make it

  • Step 1: Whisk the dry ingredients
  • In one bowl, mix the dry ingredients thoroughly together with a whisk so they're fully incorporated into each other. Break up any lumps.
  • Tip: Diner pancakes are often made with malted milk powder instead of sugar. Using malt in your recipe will impart that pancake-house flavor.
  • Step 2: Separate the eggs
  • Separate the eggs into the other two bowls. Whip the whites with a hand mixer until they form stiff peaks and set aside.
  • Step 3: Mix the wet ingredients
  • Add the milk to the egg yolks and beat them together with the mixer until they're bubbly. Then, mix in the oil or butter.
  • Step 4: Add dry to wet
  • Add the dry ingredients to the egg yolk mixture, and whisk them together very gently until they're just incorporated. Don't mix too much; overworked batter results in tough, dense pancakes. Fold in the egg whites in two additions, and let the batter rest for 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Step 5: Heat your pan
  • Heat your pan or griddle to about 350 degrees, and lightly coat the surface with cooking spray or vegetable oil. Test the temperature by sprinkling a droplet of water onto the surface; if it's hot enough, the water will skitter and evaporate.
  • Tip: Don't use butter to grease your pan, unless it's clarified butter. Regular butter will burn.
  • Step 6: Make a trial pancake
  • Test your temperature by making a trial pancake. Use your 1/3-cup measure to gather a scoop of batter & pour it onto your pan or griddle. When the edges have browned & bubbles appear, flip the pancake, & cook the other side until it's golden brown. Don't press down on the pancake; it won't help it cook faster, and it'll crush the light texture.
  • Tip: To make blueberry pancakes, scatter a handful of frozen blueberries into the batter as soon as you pour it onto the griddle.
  • Step 7: Cook your pancakes
  • When you're satisfied that you've got the right temperature, use your 1/3-cup measure to pour on as many helpings of batter as you can comfortably fit on the griddle. There should be a bit of space between them, so that they don't overlap or touch when you flip them.
  • Step 8: Serve and enjoy
  • Serve your pancakes with traditional sides like butter and maple syrup, but don't be afraid to experiment! Give whipped cream, jams or jellies, peanut butter, sliced fruit, and even melted chocolate a try!
