Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 cups buttermilk
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- cooking spray or additional butter
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and sugar until well combined.
In a separate medium bowl, combine the buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Whisk until the mixture is smooth.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula or whisk just until combined. Avoid overmixing as it can make the pancakes dense. The batter should be slightly lumpy.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with cooking spray or butter.
Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, pour the pancake batter onto the skillet, leaving space between each pancake.
Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip the pancakes and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown on both sides.
Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed between batches.
Serve the pancakes warm with syrup, butter, or your favorite toppings.
