Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder (heaping)
- 1 tablespoon granulated white sugar
- Pinch of salt
Wet Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk or 2%
- 2 tablespoons pure vegetable oil
- ¼ cup butterscotch chips
- 2 tablespoons butterscotch syrup
Optional Toppings
- Whipped cream
- Extra butterscotch syrup
Instructions
- Whisk Eggs: In a large bowl, break the eggs and whisk them until they are light lemon yellow and fluffy, incorporating air for a light batter.
- Add Sugar: Add the granulated sugar to the eggs and whisk again until the mixture is light and fluffy, helping to dissolve the sugar.
- Incorporate Milk and Oil: Pour in the milk and vegetable oil, whisking thoroughly to combine all wet ingredients into a smooth mixture.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: Add the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt to the wet mixture. Whisk until just combined; a few lumps in the batter are okay for fluffy pancakes.
- Add Butterscotch Elements: Fold in the butterscotch chips and swirl in the butterscotch syrup evenly throughout the batter. Let rest for a few minutes to slightly thicken.
- Preheat and Cook Pancakes: Heat an electric griddle or skillet over medium heat until a pat of butter melts and sizzles. Pour batter using a ladle or ½ cup scoop. Cook until edges form small bubbles and the surface is set and golden.
- Flip and Finish: Flip the pancakes gently using a thin spatula and cook the other side until golden brown. Remove from heat once cooked through.
- Serve and Garnish: Stack the pancakes on a plate and top with whipped cream and extra butterscotch syrup if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy the magical flavor.
Notes
- Do not overmix the batter to keep pancakes fluffy and tender.
- Resting the batter allows the baking powder to activate fully for fluffier pancakes.
- Use a non-stick skillet or well-seasoned griddle for easy flipping.
- Adjust butterscotch chips and syrup amounts based on sweetness preference.
- Serve immediately for best texture and flavor.
