This recipe offers a simple, time-saving method to make fluffy pancakes baked in a sheet pan, perfect for feeding a crowd without the hassle of flipping individual pancakes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (240 g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 ¾ cups (420 ml) milk (whole milk preferred, 2% or plant-based works too)
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 4 tablespoons (56 g) unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Optional add-ins: fresh berries (blueberries or sliced strawberries), chocolate chips, chopped nuts

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a 9×13-inch baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with non-stick spray.
  2. In a large bowl, sift together the dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk the wet ingredients: milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until fully combined but do not overbeat.
  4. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently fold with a spatula just until combined. Fold in any optional add-ins now if using.
  5. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking sheet, smoothing the top to about ½ inch (1.3 cm) thickness.
  6. Bake for 15-18 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  7. Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes to set.
  8. Cut into squares or rectangles and serve warm with your favorite toppings.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to keep pancakes tender. Use room temperature eggs and milk for better mixing. Melt butter and let it cool slightly before mixing. Spread batter evenly for uniform cooking. Watch baking time closely as ovens vary; tent with foil if edges brown too fast. Let pancakes rest 5 minutes before cutting for cleaner slices.
