Mix the water, oil, eggs and vanilla together in a large mixing bowl.
1 1/2 cups (355 ml) water, 1/2 cup (120 ml) neutral-tasting oil, 2 large eggs, 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
In a medium mixing bowl, stir together the flour (please read the notes on how to measure flour correctly), sugar, baking powder and salt. Add dry mix to the wet and stir until combined. Don't stir out all the lumps. You don't want gigantic lumps but some medium lumps are okay. If you overmix, your pancakes won't be fluffy!
2 1/4 cups + 2 tablespoons (275 grams) flour, 1/4 cup (50 grams) granulated sugar, 3 tablespoons aluminum-free baking POWDER, 1 teaspoon salt
Grease a pan with cooking spray or butter and place on medium-low heat (I used 3 out of 9 but stoves vary and you may need higher heat).
Pour 1/8 of the batter (120 grams) into the center of the pan. Use a spoon to form into a more circular shape, if desired.
Cook until you start to see some bubbling under the surface, rather than actual bubbles you see in some pancake recipes. Once the pan is really hot, this should only take about 2-3 minutes per side. Once you see the bubbling, check and if it's brown on the bottom, then flip.
Cook another 2-3 minutes.
Serve immediately. Let leftovers cool and refrigerate for up to 4 days or freeze for 3 months.
