Cooking Instructions:

  2. Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

  4. Step 4: Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined; lumps are okay.
  5. Step 5: Preheat the Skillet. Place your skillet over medium heat and grease with butter.
  6. Step 6: Cook the Pancakes. Pour the batter into the skillet, using half for one pancake. Cook until bubbles form, then flip and cook until golden brown.
  7. Step 7: Serve and Enjoy. Place the pancake on a plate, top with butter and syrup, and enjoy!

Notes
