Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar and salt.

• Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just incorporated. If the batter seems too thick, add more of the milk, a little at a time.
• Melt the butter in a large skillet or griddle over medium heat.
• Ladle about 3/4 cup of the batter onto the skillet to make a pancake.
• Cook until bubbles break the surface of the pancake, and the underside is golden brown, about 3 minutes.
• Flip with a spatula and cook about 1 minute more on the second side. Remove from the pan and place on a plate.
• Repeat until all the batter is used up.
• Serve with your favorite toppings: butter, syrup, fruit or any other topping you desire.

HOMEMADE PANCAKE MIX

Steps:

• For the pancake mix: Sift the flour, cornstarch, confectioners' sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt together in a medium bowl then whisk thoroughly to combine. Store pancake mix in an airtight container or resealable plastic bag in a cool, dry place for up to 3 months.
• To make pancakes: Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with two kitchen towels stacked on top of each other and place in the oven. This will keep your cooked pancakes warm.
• Whisk the milk, butter, vanilla and eggs together in a large bowl. Add 2 1/4 cups pancake mix and whisk vigorously to form a thick batter (it's okay if there are some lumps). Let the batter rest for 5 minutes.
• Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. (Alternatively, heat a nonstick electric griddle to medium.) Ladle about 1/4 cup of the batter onto the skillet, spreading it into a 4 1/2- to 5-inch round; repeat to make a second pancake. (If using a griddle, make as many pancakes as will fit on your griddle plate at one time.) Cook until the pancakes are golden on the bottom and bubbly on top, 45 to 60 seconds. Flip the pancakes and cook until the undersides are golden and the batter is cooked through, 45 seconds more. Transfer the pancakes to the baking sheet in the oven, tucking them between the kitchen towels. Repeat with the remaining batter to make more pancakes. Serve pancakes with butter and maple syrup.

PANCAKES

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg.
• In another bowl, beat the eggs and then whisk in the milk and vanilla.
• Melt the butter in a large cast iron skillet or griddle over medium heat.
• Whisk the butter into the milk mixture. Add the wet ingredients to the flour mixture, and whisk until a thick batter is just formed.
• Keeping the skillet at medium heat, ladle about 1/4 cup of the batter onto the skillet, to make a pancake. Make 1 or 2 more pancakes, taking care to keep them evenly spaced apart. Cook, until bubbles break the surface of the pancakes, and the undersides are golden brown, about 2 minutes. Flip with a spatula and cook about 1 minute more on the second side. Serve immediately or transfer to a platter and cover loosely with foil to keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more butter to the skillet as needed.
• Procedure for adding fruit to pancakes: Once the bubbles break the surface of the pancakes, scatter the surface with sliced or diced fruit, or chocolate chips, nuts, etc. Flip with a spatula and cook for 1 minute more, being careful not to burn toppings.
