The Gathered Kind

🥞 Ingredients

Use your favorite pancake batter! Here’s a simple base if you need one:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
  
• 2 tbsp sugar
  
• 1 tbsp baking powder
  
• ½ tsp salt
  
• 2 eggs
  
• 1¾ cups milk
  
• ¼ cup melted butter or oil
  
• 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
  

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (218°C).
   
2. Lightly grease a rimmed baking sheet (9×13 or larger, depending on how thick you want them).
   
3. Mix your pancake batter—either your go-to or the recipe above.
   
4. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared baking sheet and gently spread to the edges.
   
5. Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick comes out clean from the center.
   
6. Let cool slightly, then slice into squares. Serve with syrup, fruit, peanut butter—whatever your crew loves.
