Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a sheet pan (13x18 standard half sheet) with parchment paper or you can generously spray with non stick spray.
Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large mixing bowl.
2 3/4 cups all purpose flour, spooned and leveled, 1/3 cup granulated sugar, 1 1/2 Tbsp. baking powder, 1 tsp. kosher salt
Add the softened butter, cut it into cubes so it's easy to incorporate.
1/2 cup softened butter, unsalted
Mix with your fingers until butter mixes into dry ingredients. It will look like coarse sand.
In another bowl or large measuring cup, whisk together the eggs, milk, and vanilla.
2 large eggs, room temperature, 2 1/2 cups whole milk, room temp, 2 tsp. pure vanilla extract
Pour into the dry ingredients and fold with a rubber spatula just until combined. It will look lumpy and that's OK.
Spread evenly on prepared sheet pan. If you notice and large floury lumps you can break them up so there are no flour pockets.
Top with your favorite toppings.
toppings: banana coins, chocolate chips/chunks, strawberries, blueberries, raspberries.
Bake for 12-15 minutes or until edges are golden brown and pancakes are set. If any chocolate has sunk, feel free to add some more on top while it's warm to get it nice and melty.
Cool for a few minutes prior to cutting and enjoy with syrup, powdered sugar, or your favorite pancake toppings!
serve with: butter, syrup, powdered sugar, peanut butter, Nutella, more fruit, etc.
