-
In a medium to large mixing bowl, mix together the eggs, milk, butter or vegetable oil, and honey or brown sugar until well combined. Set aside.
-
In a separate bowl, weigh your flour; or measure it by gently spooning it into a cup, then sweeping off any excess.
-
Add the salt and baking powder to the flour and whisk the dry ingredients together thoroughly.
-
Stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring just until evenly moistened. Set the batter aside and let it rest for 15 minutes.
-
In the meantime, preheat a heavy frying pan over medium heat, or an electric griddle to 350°F. Lightly grease the frying pan or griddle. The pan or griddle is ready if a drop of water will skitter across the surface, evaporating immediately.
-
Drop the batter by the 1/4-cupful onto the lightly greased griddle — a scone and muffin scoop works well here. Cook the pancakes on one side until bubbles begin to form and break, about 2 minutes; then turn the pancakes and cook the other side until brown, about 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Try to turn the pancakes only once during the cooking process.
-
Serve the pancakes immediately, or keep warm in a 200°F oven.
-
Store leftover pancakes in the fridge for a day, or freeze for longer storage. Leftover pancakes make a quick, toast-able weekday breakfast.
