Ingredients

  • 2 cups of versatile all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons of white sugar, or more depending on your preference
  • 2 teaspoons of baking powder for that perfect rise
  • 1 teaspoon of salt to balance the flavors
  • ⅓ cup of vegetable oil to keep it moist
  • 2 large eggs for richness
  • 3 cups of milk, or adjust as necessary to achieve the desired consistency

Step 1

Combine a blend of flour, sugar, baking powder, and a pinch of salt in a mixing bowl. Incorporate the richness of oil and eggs into the mix, then introduce milk gradually until achieving the perfect texture. Embrace any delightful lumpiness in the batter for added character.

Step 2

Prep a griddle with a thin coat of oil, allowing it to warm up on medium-high settings. With a touch of finesse, drop dollops of the batter onto the heated griddle, cooking them in batches. Watch for the formation of bubbles and the drying out of the edges, a sign that it's time to flip them over. Let them sizzle until beautifully browned on the opposite side, usually taking around 2 to 3 minutes. Repeat this mesmerizing process with the remaining batter, savoring each step as you create delectable treats.
