Scale
- Dry Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Wet Ingredients:
- 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 2 1/2 cups whole milk
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (plus more for the skillet)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Add-ins:
- 15 Oreo cookies, crushed into medium-sized pieces
- Optional Toppings:
- Whipped cream
- Additional crushed Oreos
- Chocolate syrup
- Maple syrup
Instructions
- Prepare Dry Ingredients:
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
- Combine Wet Ingredients:
- In a separate bowl, mix the beaten eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Mix Batter:
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined; it’s okay if the batter is slightly lumpy. Overmixing can lead to dense pancakes.
- Add Crushed Oreos:
- Fold the crushed Oreo cookies into the batter, distributing them evenly.
- Rest the Batter (Optional):
- Let the batter rest for about 30 minutes. This allows the ingredients to meld and can result in fluffier pancakes.
- Heat Skillet:
- Place a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add a small amount of butter to coat the surface lightly.
- Cook Pancakes:
- Pour approximately 1/3 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake.
- Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
- Flip the pancake and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
- Adjust the heat as necessary to prevent burning.
- Serve:
- Stack the pancakes on a plate.
- Top with whipped cream, additional crushed Oreos, and a drizzle of chocolate or maple syrup, if desired.
