How to make perfect pancakes

Impress your brunch guests—or just treat yourself—to light, fluffy, delicious pancakes. You will need:
3 large bowls
a whisk
1.5 cups unbleached flour
3/4 tsp. salt
2 tsp. baking powder
2 tbsp. sugar
2 large eggs
a hand mixer
1 1/4 cup milk
3 tbsp. melted butter or vegetable oil
additional vegetable oil or cooking spray
a spatula
a greased 1/3 cup measure
a cookie sheet
a griddle or a heavy nonstick pan
malted milk powder
frozen blueberries
more butter
maple syrup
various toppings

Tip: Diner pancakes are often made with malted milk powder instead of sugar. Using malt in your recipe will impart that pancake house flavor.
