Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 1.75 cups buttermilk
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 pieces large eggs
• 1 as needed nonstick cooking spray or butter (for cooking)

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, melted butter, vanilla extract, and eggs until smooth.

Step 3

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix with a spatula or spoon until combined. Be careful not to overmix—some lumps are fine.

Step 4

Let the batter rest for 5 minutes to allow the ingredients to fully hydrate and help the pancakes become fluffy.

Step 5

Heat a large nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with nonstick cooking spray or a small amount of butter.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Cook until bubbles form on the surface of the pancake and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip the pancake and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Serve warm with your favorite toppings such as syrup, fresh fruit, or a dollop of whipped cream.
