Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 2 cups Buttermilk
- 2 units Large eggs
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted and slightly cooled)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 as needed Butter or oil (for cooking)
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until combined.
Step 2
In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
Step 3
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet ingredients. Gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; lumps are okay.
Step 4
Let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes to allow the baking soda and buttermilk to react, creating a fluffier texture.
Step 5
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.
Step 6
Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, pour batter onto the skillet to form pancakes. Leave space between each pancake to allow for spreading and flipping.
Step 7
Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook the other side for another 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Step 8
Transfer pancakes to a plate and cover loosely with foil to keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter.
Step 9
Serve warm with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, fresh fruit, whipped cream, or a sprinkle of powdered sugar. Enjoy!
