Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1.5 cups Buttermilk
- 2 units Large eggs
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Vegetable oil or butter (for greasing the pan)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet mixture. Gently fold the wet and dry ingredients together with a spatula; avoid overmixing. It's okay if the batter is slightly lumpy.
Let the batter rest for 5 minutes to allow the ingredients to fully hydrate.
Heat a large nonstick or cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease the pan with vegetable oil or butter.
Using a ladle or measuring cup, pour approximately 1/2 cup of batter onto the skillet to create a pancake that fits a standard plate size. Gently spread the batter with the back of the ladle if needed.
Cook the pancake for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip the pancake with a spatula and cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown on the other side.
Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the pan as needed between pancakes.
Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings, such as maple syrup, fresh fruit, whipped cream, or powdered sugar.
