Fluffy & Thick Diner Pancakes

Ingredients

• 3/4 cup whole milk
• 1 1/4 cup buttermilk
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons instant yeast
• 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 large eggs
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup 1 stick unsalted butter
• 1/4 cup honey
• 1/4 cup maple syrup
• pinch of salt
• cubes of butter (to add on top)

Instructions

1. 1

   In a large bowl, whisk together the whole milk, buttermilk, flour, instant yeast, and sugar. Let it bloom in a warm place for 1 hour until bubbly and airy.

2. 2

   While the yeast is blooming, make the honey butter maple sauce: over medium-low heat, melt the butter in a small saucepan. Then stir in the honey, maple syrup, and a pinch of salt until smooth and glossy. Set aside.

3. 3

   In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.

4. 4

   Once the batter has bloomed, add the whisked wet ingredients to it and mix until combined.

5. 5

   In another bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, baking soda, and salt.

6. 6

   Add the dry mix to the batter and whisk gently just until no more dry bits remain. Do not overmix—the batter should be thick and a little lumpy.

7. 7

   Preheat the oven to 400°F. Onee preheated, add your skillet inside and let it preheat for 5 minutes.

8. 8

   Carefully remove the hot skillet, grease it with a bit of oil, then pour in about 1¼ to 1½ cups of batter.

9. 9

   Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until the pancake is puffed up and golden on top.

10. 10

    Flip over on a plate, add a slice of butter, and drizzle with the warm honey butter maple sauce to cover the entire surface. Enjoy warm.
