Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoons Kosher salt
• 2 cups Buttermilk
• 2 Large eggs
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil or butter (for greasing the griddle)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract.

Step 3

Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet ingredients. Gently stir with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.

Step 4

Let the batter rest for 5 minutes while you heat a griddle or large nonstick skillet over medium heat.

Step 5

Lightly grease the griddle or skillet with vegetable oil or butter using a paper towel to spread it evenly.

Step 6

Using a ladle or measuring cup, pour about 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the griddle, spacing them apart.

Step 7

Cook until bubbles appear on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip the pancakes and cook until golden brown on the other side, about 1-2 minutes more.

Step 8

Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate and keep warm by covering loosely with foil or placing them in a low-temperature oven while you cook the remaining batter.

Step 9

Serve hot with your favorite toppings, such as syrup, fresh fruit, or powdered sugar.
