Pillowy Soft Extra-Thick Pancakes

1. Prepare the Pancake Mix

In a food processor, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, malted milk powder, baking powder, kosher salt, and baking soda. Pulse the mixture a few times to mix thoroughly. Add the solid refined coconut oil to the dry mix and pulse until the coconut oil is fully incorporated but the mixture still looks powdery and dry.

2. Mix the Pancake Batter

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, large egg, and vanilla extract until well combined. Add the prepared pancake mix to the bowl and whisk until you have a smooth batter with a few small flecks of coconut oil.

3. Preheat Your Cooking Surface

Preheat an electric griddle or a large nonstick skillet to 350°F (177°C). This temperature is crucial for achieving pancakes that are golden brown on the outside and perfectly cooked in the middle.

4. Cook the Pancakes

Using a large scoop, measuring cup, or piping bag, portion the batter onto the preheated griddle or skillet. Cook the pancakes for about 90 seconds on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
