Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 cups Buttermilk
- 2 items Large eggs
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted and slightly cooled)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon (for pan greasing) Vegetable oil or butter
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk the buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients. Gently mix with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix—it's okay if the batter is slightly lumpy.
Let the batter rest for 5 minutes. This allows the ingredients to hydrate and the baking soda to activate for extra fluffy pancakes.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease it with vegetable oil or butter.
Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, pour batter onto the skillet for each pancake, leaving space between pancakes to avoid spreading into each other.
Cook until bubbles form on the surface of the pancakes and the edges start to look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip the pancakes carefully and cook for an additional 2 minutes on the other side, or until golden brown.
Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate and cover with a clean kitchen towel to keep them warm while you cook the remaining batter.
Serve immediately with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, fresh berries, or whipped cream.
