IHOP-Style Fluffy Pancakes

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.

In another bowl, mix the milk, eggs, vanilla extract, and melted butter. Whisk until the ingredients are well combined.

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. It's okay if there are a few lumps; over-mixing can make the pancakes tough.

Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or cooking spray.

Using a ladle or measuring cup, pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake.

Cook until bubbles form on the surface of the pancake and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.

Flip the pancake and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through.

Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as necessary.
