Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 2 cups buttermilk
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- as needed cooking spray or additional butter
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk the buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should have some lumps.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease it with cooking spray or a small amount of butter.
Using a 1/4 cup measure, scoop the batter onto the skillet to form each hotcake. Space them apart so they don’t touch.
Cook the hotcakes for 2-3 minutes on the first side, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges appear set. Flip them using a spatula and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown.
Transfer the cooked hotcakes to a plate and keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter.
Serve the hotcakes warm with your choice of toppings, such as maple syrup, fresh fruit, whipped cream, or butter.
