Ingredients
2 eggs, preferably at room temperature
25 g granulated sugar
1 packet vanilla sugar (optional)
60 ml sunflower oil
240 ml milk, preferably at room temperature
230 g all-purpose flour
9 g baking powder
Pinch of salt
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs until smooth.
Add the granulated sugar and vanilla sugar (if using), then whisk until the mixture becomes slightly lighter in color.
Pour in the sunflower oil and milk, stirring until well combined.
Add a pinch of salt and mix thoroughly.
In a separate bowl, sift together the flour and baking powder.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until a smooth batter forms. Do not overmix.
Cover the batter and let it rest for 5 minutes.
Heat a lightly greased skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat.
Pour portions of batter onto the hot pan using a ladle or large spoon.
Cook for 2–3 minutes, until bubbles appear on the surface and the bottom is golden brown.
Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 1–2 minutes until fully cooked and golden.
Stack the pancakes and serve warm with maple syrup, fresh fruit, powdered sugar, or butter.
Notes
Room-temperature ingredients help create a smoother batter and fluffier pancakes.
Avoid overmixing the batter, as this can result in dense pancakes.
Letting the batter rest for a few minutes helps improve texture.
Add chocolate chips, blueberries, or cinnamon for extra flavor.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
