About

If we have a hangover (which of course hardly ever happens), we make these pancakes in the late morning. I know: There are hundreds of recipes for pancakes … but this is truly the Ultimate Recipe. And you know I never lie.

Ingredients

2 cups (250 g) all-purpose flour
Pinch of salt

Method

In a big bowl, combine the flour, salt, baking powder, and the plain and vanilla sugar (if using extract, add it later). Combine the butter and milk in a saucepan and heat over medium heat until the butter melts. Add the vanilla extract, if using.

Pour the warm milk-butter mixture into the flour mixture in the bowl while stirring, then whisk until all the lumps are dissolved.
