# Pancakes

Makes 16 4-inch pancakes.

## Ingredients

* 2 cups (10 ounces) all-purpose flour
* 3 tbsp sugar
* 4 tsp baking powder
* 0.5 tsp baking soda
* 1 tsp salt
* 2 large eggs
* 0.25 cup + 1 tsp vegetable oil
* 1.5 cups milk
* 0.5 tsp vanilla extract

## Preparation

* **Batter**
  * Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together. 
  * Whisk eggs and 0.25 cup oil in second bowl until well combined. 
  * Whisk milk and vanilla into egg mixture. 
  * Add egg mixture to flour mixture and stir gently until just combined (it should remain lumpy with a few streaks of flour). 
  * Let it sit for 10 minutes before cooking.
* **Cooking**
  * Heat 1/2 tsp oil in a nonstick pan over medium-low heat until shimmering. Using a paper towel, carefully wipe oil around pan, leaving a thin film on the bottom and sides of the pan. 
  * Drop 1 tbsp batter in center of pan. If the pancake is pale golden brown after 1 minute, the pan is ready. If not, adjust heat accordingly
  * Using quarter-cup measuring cup, portion batter into pan, leaving space between them. If necessary, gently spread batter into 4-inch rounds. 
  * Cook until edges are set, first sides are golden brown, and bubbles on surface are just beginning to break, 2 to 3 minutes. 
  * Flip them, and continue to cook until second sides are golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes longer. 
* Hold them warm in a 200 degree oven as you cook.
