Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup vanilla whey protein powder ½ cup vanilla whey protein powder
  • 2 ½ teaspoons baking powder 2 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • Pinch of salt Pinch of salt
  • 1 ½ cups milk, any 1 ½ cups milk, any
  • 2 large eggs 2 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla, optional 1 teaspoon vanilla, optional

Method
 

  1. 1. In a large bowl, combine the flour, protein powder, baking powder, and salt.
  2. 2. Make a well in the middle and pour the milk, eggs, butter, and vanilla (if using). Break up the eggs with a fork first, then incorporate them into the other liquid ingredients. Mix the batter, working the dry ingredients from the outside-of-the-bowl-in, until there are no visible lumps.
  3. 3. Heat a large non-stick pan (or griddle) over medium-high heat. Once hot, grease the surface with butter, oil, or spray. Immediately, pour ¼ cup of pancake batter onto the greased pan. Use the back of the spoon to spread it out, it’s a thick batter.
  4. 4. Cook the pancakes for about 2 minutes, until the edges begin to look defined and bubbles form. Flip the pancakes over and cook for another two minutes. Avoid pressing down with a spatula. Remove the pancakes from the pan onto a plate.
  5. 5. Repeat the process with the remaining pancake batter.
  6. 6. Serve them immediately or keep them warm. Then, stack them up, and top them with your favorite toppings and syrup.

Notes

For the fluffiest pancakes, avoid overmixing the batter; a few lumps are fine. Ensure your baking powder is fresh for optimal rise. Adjust pan temperature as needed to prevent burning or undercooking.
