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 large eggs
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon oil or butter (for greasing the pan)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk the buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and uniform.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. The batter should be slightly lumpy; do not overmix.
Let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes while you preheat your skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with oil or butter.
Scoop about 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the hot skillet or griddle. Use the back of the ladle or spoon to spread the batter slightly if needed.
Cook the pancakes for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip the pancakes carefully and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
Continue cooking the pancakes in batches, greasing the pan as needed between batches.
Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings, such as maple syrup, fresh fruit, whipped cream, or a dusting of powdered sugar.
