For extra fluffy pancakes, let the batter rest for 10-15 minutes before cooking. If the batter is too thick, add a tablespoon of milk at a time until it reaches the desired consistency. To keep the pancakes warm while cooking the remaining batter, place them on a wire rack in a preheated oven at 200°F (95°C).

Follow The Directions
01
StepIn a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cream of tartar, and baking soda until well combined. (2 minutes)
02
StepGradually add the milk and beaten eggs to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. The batter should be thick and smooth, similar to the consistency of heavy cream. Stir in vanilla extract, if using. (3 minutes)
03
StepHeat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. For best results, lightly grease the surface with butter or cooking spray. (2 minutes)
04
StepPour 2-3 tablespoons of batter onto the hot skillet for each pancake. (1 minute)
05
StepCook for 3-4 minutes, or until bubbles begin to form on the surface and the edges appear set. (3-4 minutes)
06
StepFlip the pancakes and cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown on the other side. (2-3 minutes)
07
StepRepeat with the remaining batter, adjusting the heat as needed to prevent burning. (15-20 minutes)
08
StepServe the Scotch Pancakes immediately with butter, jam, fresh cream, fruit, or your favorite toppings. Enjoy!
