Ingredients

  • 2 cups instant flour (see note)
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups half-and-half
  • 1 1/2 cups club soda
  • 9 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled
  • 2 large eggs plus 2 yolks, lightly beaten

Directions

  1. MAKE BATTER Combine flour, sugar, and salt in large bowl. Slowly whisk half-and-half, club soda, 4 tablespoons butter, eggs, and yolks into flour mixture until smooth.

  2. COOK PANCAKES Brush surface and sides of 10-inch nonstick skillet with 1 teaspoon butter and heat over medium heat. When butter stops sizzling, pour 1/3 cup batter into skillet, tilting pan to evenly coat bottom with batter. Cook until golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Transfer to plate and cover tightly with aluminum foil. Repeat with remaining butter and remaining batter. Serve.
