Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 2 cups buttermilk
- 2 large eggs
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon neutral oil or butter (for greasing the griddle)
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, and salt until evenly combined.
Step 2
In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Step 3
Gently pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir just until combined; the batter should be a little lumpy. Avoid overmixing to ensure tender griddle cakes.
Step 4
Preheat a griddle or non-stick skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with a small amount of oil or butter.
Step 5
Using a ladle or measuring cup, pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the griddle for each griddle cake, spacing them apart to prevent overlapping.
Step 6
Cook until bubbles begin to form on the surface of the cakes and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. Use a spatula to flip them carefully and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
Step 7
Transfer cooked griddle cakes to a plate and cover loosely with foil to keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the griddle as needed.
Step 8
Serve the griddle cakes warm with butter, maple syrup, or your favorite toppings. Enjoy!
