Ingredients

• 2 eggs
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 (12 fluid ounce) can or bottle beer
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.5 cup milk
• 0.5 cup white sugar
• 0.25 cup canola oil

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl. Beat eggs in a separate bowl using an electric mixer for 1 minute; add beer, milk, oil, and vanilla extract and beat on low for 30 seconds. Pour egg mixture into flour mixture and mix just until combined.

Step 2

Heat a lightly oiled griddle to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Drop 1/2 cup batter onto the griddle and cook 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.
