Instructions

Melt 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Pour into a large bowl and set the skillet aside (do not wash).
In a bowl, combine smooth peanut butter, granulated sugar, baking powder, vanilla extract, the eggs, and kosher salt. Whisk until fully blended.
Stir in whole milk and mix to combine. Gradually add all-purpose flour and gently stir with a wooden spoon or flexible spatula until just incorporated. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are fine.
Warm neutral oil in the reserved frying pan over medium-low heat until it starts to shimmer. Spoon 1/4-cup portions of the batter into the pan, cooking up to 4 pancakes at a time, and gently spread the batter into 3-inch wide circles. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the bottoms are golden brown, about 2 to 4 minutes. Flip the pancakes and cook for another 1 to 3 minutes, until the second side is golden.
Let cook until the pancakes are golden brown. It’s about 3 minutes, then flip and continue to cook for about 2 minutes. Then, continue with remaining batter.
Serve pancakes with desired toppings and maple syrup.

Notes

When small bubbles form on the surface of the pancake batter, it’s a sign to flip the pancakes.

Be careful not to overmix the batter or it will make the pancakes dense. Stir it just until the streaks of batter disappear.
Depending on the size of your skillet, you can cook 3-4 pancakes at once to save time.
Pancake batter is supposed to be slightly runny. If it’s too thick the pancakes will be doughy on the inside. Adjust the consistency with more flour or milk if needed.
