Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 2 cups buttermilk
• 2 pieces large eggs
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0 vegetable oil or additional 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 the buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth and fully combined.

Step 3

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir with a spatula or spoon until just combined. The batter should still be slightly lumpy; do not overmix.

Step 4

Heat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with vegetable oil or butter.

Step 5

Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup or ladle, pour the pancake batter onto the skillet, spacing each pancake about 2 inches apart.

Step 6

Cook the pancakes until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. Then flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown and fully cooked through.

Step 7

Transfer cooked pancakes to a plate and keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed.

Step 8

Serve warm with your favorite toppings, such as maple syrup, fresh fruit, or a pat of butter.
