Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 2 cups Buttermilk
• 2 units Large eggs
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted and slightly cooled)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil or 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 together the buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract.

Step 3

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently with a spatula until just combined. Avoid overmixing — the batter should be slightly lumpy.

Step 4

Let the batter rest for 5 minutes while you heat your pan or griddle.

Step 5

Preheat a non-stick pan or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with vegetable oil or butter.

Step 6

Using a 1/4 cup measure, scoop the batter onto the hot pan, spacing the pancakes about 2 inches apart.

Step 7

Cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until you see bubbles forming on the surface and the edges look set. Flip the pancakes and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 8

Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the pan as needed between batches.

Step 9

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