Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• ⅓ cup vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 2 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons white sugar, or more to taste
• 3 cups milk, or as needed

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Mix flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl. Add oil and eggs; pour in milk to moisten to desired consistency. Batter may be slightly lumpy.

Step 2

Heat a lightly oiled griddle over medium-high heat. Drop batter by large spoonfuls onto the griddle and cook in batches until bubbles form and the edges are dry, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip and cook until browned on the other side, 2 to 3 minutes. Repeat with remaining batter.
