Yield: 15
Ingredients:
| 2 eggs |
| 2 c. milk |
| 2 tbsp. maple syrup, plus more for serving |
| 1/4 c. vegetable oil, plus more for cooking |
| 1 tbsp. baking powder |
| 2 c. all-purpose flour |
| 1/4 tsp. kosher salt |
| Butter, for serving |
Steps:
- In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, oil, and syrup until combined. Add baking powder, flour, and salt. Whisk together until just combined, and not smooth. The lumpier, the better!
- Heat a large nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat. (If desired, add a little oil or butter here.) Using a ¼ cup measuring cup, scoop batter onto the skillet/griddle. Cook until bubbles appear on the surface, about 2-3 minutes. Flip gently so as to not deflate the rise, and cook for another 2 minutes, or until the hotcakes are cooked through. Repeat with the remaining batter.
- Serve with maple syrup and a perfectly square pat of butter.
