Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 2 cups buttermilk
• 2 pieces large eggs
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0 cooking spray or additional butter

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and sugar until well combined.

Step 2

In a separate medium bowl, combine the buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Whisk until the mixture is smooth.

Step 3

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula or whisk just until combined. Avoid overmixing as it can make the pancakes dense. The batter should be slightly lumpy.

Step 4

Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with cooking spray or butter.

Step 5

Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, pour the pancake batter onto the skillet, leaving space between each pancake.

Step 6

Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip the pancakes and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown on both sides.

Step 7

Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed between batches.

Step 8

Serve the pancakes warm with syrup, butter, or your favorite toppings.
