Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 2 cups buttermilk
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 1 teaspoons vegetable oil or melted butter (for greasing)
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly combined.
Step 2
In another bowl, whisk the buttermilk, melted unsalted butter, vanilla extract, and eggs until smooth and fully blended.
Step 3
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula or whisk until just combined. The batter should be slightly lumpy, so avoid overmixing to keep the pancakes or waffles fluffy.
Step 4
If making pancakes, heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with vegetable oil or melted butter. Once hot, scoop about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until you see bubbles forming on the surface and the edges look set. Flip and cook the other side for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
Step 5
If making waffles, preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions and lightly grease it with vegetable oil or melted butter. Pour enough batter to just cover the waffle iron's surface (typically around 1/2 cup, but follow your waffle iron's specific guidelines) and close the lid. Cook for 3-5 minutes or until the waffle is golden brown and crispy.
Step 6
Serve the pancakes or waffles immediately with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, fresh berries, whipped cream, or butter. Enjoy!
