Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 2 tablespoons Sugar
- 2 large Eggs
- 1.5 cups Sweet milk (whole milk)
- 3 tablespoons Butter
- 1 tablespoon Butter or oil (for greasing the griddle)
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
Step 2
In a separate smaller bowl, crack the eggs and beat them lightly. Add the sweet milk and stir until well combined.
Step 3
Melt the butter and let it cool slightly. Stir it into the milk and egg mixture.
Step 4
Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring just until the batter is smooth. Avoid overmixing to ensure light and fluffy griddle cakes.
Step 5
Heat a griddle or large skillet over medium heat. Grease lightly with butter or oil once hot, using care not to over-grease as this can cause the cakes to cook unevenly.
Step 6
Ladle about 1/4 cup of the batter onto the griddle for each cake. Spread slightly with the back of the ladle if necessary.
Step 7
Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges start to look set, approximately 2-3 minutes. Flip gently with a spatula and cook the other side until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes more.
Step 8
Remove the cooked griddle cakes and keep them warm by covering them with a clean kitchen towel. Repeat the process with the remaining batter.
Step 9
Serve warm with your choice of toppings such as syrup, butter, fresh fruit, or jam.
