Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 2 cups Buttermilk
• 2 Large eggs
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted and slightly cooled)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 as needed Cooking spray or additional butter (for greasing the pan)

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 medium bowl, whisk the buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 3

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; lumps in the batter are okay.

Step 4

Let the batter rest for 5 minutes while you preheat your cooking surface.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Scoop 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake, leaving some space between them.

Step 7

Cook the pancakes for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip them carefully with a spatula and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown on the other side.

Step 8

Transfer the completed pancakes to a plate and cover with a clean towel to keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter.

Step 9

Serve the pancakes warm with your choice of syrup, butter, fresh fruit, or other toppings.
