1

Add 1 tablespoon of vinegar to a measuring cup.

2

Pour in 1 and 1/4 cups of whole milk and let it sit for about 10 minutes to curdle.

3

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add 1 and 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour.

4

Add 3 tablespoons of sugar, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, and 1 teaspoon of salt to the flour and mix together using a whisk.

5

Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients.

6

After 10 minutes, check the milk mixture; it should look curdled.

7

Crack 1 egg into the measuring cup with the milk mixture.

8

Add 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil to the milk mixture and whisk until combined.

9

Pour the milk mixture into the well of the dry ingredients and mix gently with a spatula until no big pockets of dry flour remain; the batter will be lumpy.

10

Optionally, let the batter rest for 30 minutes for fluffier pancakes.

11

Heat an electric griddle or frying pan on medium for 8 to 10 minutes until hot, then grease with vegetable oil.

12

Reduce the heat to medium-low to prevent the pancakes from cooking too quickly on the outside while remaining raw inside.

13

Pour batter onto the griddle to form pancakes of desired size.

14

Cook for 2 to 3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface and edges look dry, then flip the pancake.

15

Cook the other side for about 1 minute until golden brown and springy when pressed.

16

If the batter thickens after resting, add a splash of milk or water to thin it out.

17

Cook additional pancakes, 2 to 3 at a time, following the same timing cues.

18

Serve pancakes warm with butter and maple syrup.
