American Pancakes

Step 1

In a large bowl whisk eggs with sugar until they turn pale and frothy. Meanwhile, melt butter, and wait until it comes to room temperature, then add it to the eggs and whisk to incorporate. Next, add vanilla and milk, and stir to combine.

Step 2

In a separate large bowl sift flour, baking powder, and salt through a fine-mesh strainer, then add to the egg mixture. Stir until well blended.

Step 3

Heat a skillet over medium-high heat, then oil it with a paper cloth. Using a ladle, pour the batter into the skillet in batches of the desired size. Flip once the bubbles have appeared on the surface and cook on the second side until golden brown.

Step 4

Transfer to a plate, and repeat the previous step with the remaining batter. Ideally, you should have a total of eight to ten pancakes.

Step 5

For serving, stack a few pancakes, and top them with butter and honey. Serve hot.
