Ingredients
- 6 cups all-purpose flour
- 6 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 4 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 6 cups buttermilk
- 6 pieces large eggs
- 1 cup unsalted butter (melted and cooled)
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons neutral oil or butter for greasing the griddle
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
Step 2
In a second large bowl, whisk together buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Step 3
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients, whisking gently until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
Step 4
Preheat a large griddle or non-stick skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease with a small amount of neutral oil or butter.
Step 5
Using a 1/4-cup scoop for consistency, pour circles of batter onto the hot surface. Leave enough space between pancakes to prevent them from spreading into each other.
Step 6
Cook the pancakes for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles appear on the surface and the edges look set. Flip and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Step 7
Transfer cooked pancakes to a baking sheet and keep warm in a 200°F (95°C) oven while repeating the cooking process with the remaining batter.
Step 8
Serve pancakes warm with your choice of toppings such as maple syrup, fresh fruit, whipped cream, or powdered sugar.
