SWEET MEXICAN PANCAKES

Ingredients:
• 2 cups flour
• 2 tsp baking powder
• ¼ tsp salt
• ½ cup sugar
• ¾ cup milk
• 2 tbsp melted butter
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions:
1. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar until well combined.
2. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
3. Combine Wet and Dry: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spoon or spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are fine. Overmixing can lead to tough pancakes.
4. Rest the Batter (Optional but Recommended): For a slightly fluffier pancake, let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes.
5. Heat Skillet/Griddle: Heat a lightly greased non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. You can use a little butter or cooking spray.
6. Cook Pancakes: Pour about ¼ cup of batter for each pancake onto the hot skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and bubbles start to form on the surface, and the edges look set.
7. Serve: Remove from the skillet and serve warm. These are often enjoyed plain, or with a sprinkle of extra sugar, a drizzle of honey, or a dollop of Mexican crema.
