Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 2 cups buttermilk
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon butter or oil (for greasing the pan)
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk to combine.
Step 2
In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Step 3
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently mix with a whisk or spatula until just combined. Some lumps are fine—do not overmix, as this can make the pancakes dense.
Step 4
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or oil.
Step 5
Using a ladle or measuring cup, pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Leave space between pancakes for easy flipping.
Step 6
Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip gently and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown on both sides.
Step 7
Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate. Keep warm by tenting with foil, or place in a low-heat oven while cooking the remaining batter.
Step 8
Serve warm with your favorite toppings, such as maple syrup, fresh fruit, whipped cream, or a dusting of powdered sugar.
