# Ingredients:

→ Dry Ingredients

01 - 250g all-purpose flour
02 - 4 tablespoons white sugar
03 - 2 teaspoons baking powder
04 - ½ teaspoon baking soda
05 - ½ teaspoon salt

→ Wet Ingredients

06 - 2 large eggs, room temperature
07 - 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
08 - 1 cup milk, room temperature
09 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

→ For Cooking

10 - Butter for griddle

# Steps:

01 - Sift flour into a large mixing bowl and combine with sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk to distribute evenly.
02 - In a separate bowl, thoroughly whisk together eggs, melted butter, milk and vanilla extract until well combined.
03 - Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with dry ingredients. Whisk gently just until incorporated. A few small lumps are acceptable - avoid overmixing.
04 - Heat a griddle or skillet over medium heat and add a small amount of butter. Pour ¼ cup portions of batter onto the hot surface. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip.
05 - Cook the second side until golden brown, approximately 1-2 minutes. Serve immediately or keep warm in a low-temperature oven until ready to serve.

# Notes:

01 - Use room temperature ingredients for best results.
02 - Don't overmix the batter - small lumps are acceptable and lead to fluffier hotcakes.
