Ingredients for Perfect, Fluffy Pancakes You probably already have everything you need in your pantry: flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, vanilla extract, canola oil, salt, eggs and half & half.

Next, in a separate bowl, whisk all your wet ingredients together (eggs, oil, half & half, vanilla extract).
Then, add your wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, but don't over-mix the batter—you want a light and fluffy batter. About 12-14 turns. Cover and rest your batter for 10 minutes.
Preheat your griddle to 350 degrees F, then oil the griddle. Use a scooper or a 1/4 cup to add your pancake batter to the griddle, spreading out 4 inches apart. You can fit 6 pancakes on a griddle at once.
Once you see bubbles forming on the top of the pancakes and the edges turning brown, flip each pancake over. They should be soft in the middle and golden on the top. If you're adding ingredients to your pancakes (like blueberries, chocolate chips or sausage), add them to the batter before flipping.
Keep pancakes warm in an oven set to 200 degrees F.
