Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 425°F. Grease your sheet pan generously with non-stick spray or butter.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and a pinch of salt.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, beat the milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until combined.
- Combine: Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until mostly smooth. Don’t worry if there are a few small lumps—it’s all part of the pancake charm!
- Prepare the Pan: Pour the batter evenly onto the prepared sheet pan, using a spatula to spread it to the edges.
- Bake: Slide the pan into the preheated oven and bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Let the pancakes cool for a few minutes, then cut into squares. Serve warm with your favorite toppings.
Toppings & Variations:
- Fruit Add-ins: Sprinkle blueberries, sliced bananas, or strawberries onto the batter before baking for a fresh twist.
- Sweet Treats: Throw in a handful of chocolate chips or a drizzle of chocolate syrup for a fun breakfast treat.
- Buttermilk Pancakes: Replace the whole milk with buttermilk for a bit of tang, and add 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda to the dry ingredients to help it rise.
- Gluten-Free Option: Swap in a gluten-free flour blend for the all-purpose flour, and you’ve got yourself a gluten-free version that’s just as tasty!
Leftovers:
- If by some miracle there are leftovers, these pancakes reheat beautifully in the oven or even in the toaster. Perfect for a quick breakfast during the week!
Serving Ideas:
- Serve with a dollop of apple butter, or drizzle with maple syrup for that cozy, homestyle breakfast feel.
- Pair with crispy bacon or savory sausage links for a balance of sweet and savory.
- Add a side of fresh fruit, like strawberries, blueberries, or orange slices, for a burst of freshness to complement the pancakes.
