Ingredients

  • 2/3 cup all-purpose flour

  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

Preparation

  1. In a medium bowl, combine the flour and sugar. Add the eggs and blend well with a whisk.
  2. Add the milk and vanilla extract. Beat until smooth.
  3. Pour 3 tablespoons of the batter into a heated 8" or 10" nonstick skillet, sprayed with nonstick cooking spray. Tilt the pan quickly to spread the batter. Cook until the pancake is brown on underside (about 45 seconds; edges will begin to dry). Flip the pancake and brown the other side. Continue until all the batter is used.
