1

Mix dry ingredients: flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, and baking soda in a bowl.

2

In another bowl, combine milk, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, apple cider vinegar, and eggs; whisk until well mixed.

3

Fold wet ingredients into dry ingredients until just combined; lumps are okay.

4

Heat an electric griddle and add a dollop of whipped salted butter to grease it.

5

Scoop batter onto the griddle without stirring the batter; do not worry about making perfect circles.

6

Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges are crispy; flip pancakes away from yourself once ready.

7

Cook the other side until golden brown; check for springiness to determine doneness.

8

Serve pancakes with whipped salted butter and real maple syrup.
