- Step 2Gently fold dry ingredients into milk mixture until just combined (do not overmix; some lumps are okay).
- Step 3Preheat a griddle or other large heavy skillet over medium heat until hot but not scorching, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Step 4Melt enough butter to cover surface of griddle, then pour about 1/4 cup batter onto griddle. Cook pancake until bubbles form on top and sides start to lift from pan, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip and cook until bottom is golden brown and pancake is fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack. Wipe off griddle, then repeat with more butter and remaining batter (you should get about 10 pancakes).
