🥘 Ingredients

10 items

• 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
• 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted and slightly cooled)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 as needed Oil or butter (for greasing the skillet)

📝 Instructions

8 steps

1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.

2. In a separate medium bowl, combine the buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth.

3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. The batter will be slightly lumpy; avoid overmixing to ensure fluffy pancakes.

4. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with a bit of oil or butter.

5. Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, pour batter onto the skillet to form individual pancakes. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.

6. Flip the pancakes using a spatula and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.

7. Transfer the pancakes to a plate and cover them with a clean kitchen towel or foil to keep them warm while you cook the remaining batter.

8. Serve the pancakes warm with your choice of syrup, fresh fruit, whipped cream, or other favorite toppings.
