PERFECT PANCAKES (AND TOPPINGS!)

Steps:

• Pancake bar toppings: mini chocolate chips, fresh blueberries, flavored yogurt, sliced bananas and extra pats of butter
• Mix together the cake flour, baking powder, sugar and salt in a large bowl. Mix together the milk, vanilla and eggs in a separate bowl. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring very gently until just combined. Melt the butter and add it to the batter, stirring gently to combine. Stir in more milk if needed for thinning; the batter should not be overly thick.
• Set a griddle over medium-low heat and butter the surface when it's hot. Use a 1/4-cup measure to drop the batter onto the griddle in batches. Fry the pancakes on both sides until golden, about 2 minutes per side.
• Serve with an assortment of your favorite pancake toppings, such as mini chocolate chips, fresh blueberries, flavored yogurt, sliced bananas and extra pats of butter.

SHEET PAN PANCAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Use 2 tablespoons of the melted butter to generously grease the bottom and sides of an 18-by-13-inch half-sheet pan.
• Into a blender, add the eggs, milk and vanilla. Next add the flour, baking powder, sugar, salt and 4 tablespoons of the melted butter. Blend until just combined, about 30 seconds.

Imagine the sheet pan in thirds, then sprinkle the chocolate chips in the first third, the blueberries in the second and the strawberries in the third, making 3 sections or stripes. Bake until golden brown and cooked through, about 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and brush with the remaining 2 tablespoons of melted butter.
