Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups (190 g) all-purpose flour
  • 3 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 ¼ cups (300 ml) milk, room temperature (whole milk preferred, almond or oat milk optional)
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (plus extra for cooking)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup (115 g) unsalted butter, softened (for cardamom honey butter)
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • ½ teaspoon ground cardamom
  • Pinch of salt (for cardamom honey butter)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and granulated sugar.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk milk, eggs, melted unsalted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth and slightly frothy.
  3. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently fold with a spatula just until combined; batter should be slightly lumpy.
  4. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes at room temperature.
  5. In a small bowl, beat softened unsalted butter with honey, ground cardamom, and a pinch of salt until creamy and fluffy; set aside.
  6. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and brush with melted butter.
  7. Pour ¼ cup batter onto the hot surface; cook until bubbles appear and edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
  8. Flip carefully and cook another 1-2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
  9. Keep cooked pancakes warm covered loosely with foil while finishing the batch.
  10. Serve pancakes topped with cardamom honey butter and drizzle extra honey if desired.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to keep pancakes light and fluffy. Use room temperature ingredients to avoid curdling. Cook on medium heat to prevent burning. Let batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking. Butter the pan lightly and flip pancakes only once when bubbles form and edges look set. For dairy-free, use plant-based butter and milk substitutes. Batter consistency should be thick but pourable.
