Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 2.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 2 cups Buttermilk
- 2 Large eggs
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- Non-stick cooking spray or unsalted butter (for greasing the pan)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
In another medium-sized bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Using a spatula or a whisk, stir gently until the batter is just combined. Avoid overmixing; small lumps in the batter are okay.
Set the pancake batter aside to rest for 5 minutes while you heat your cooking surface.
Heat a griddle or a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with non-stick cooking spray or a small amount of butter.
Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, pour batter onto the hot griddle or skillet to form pancakes. Leave enough space between each pancake for easy flipping.
Cook the pancakes for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip each pancake carefully with a spatula and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown on both sides.
Transfer cooked pancakes to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the pan as needed between batches.
Serve the pancakes warm with your choice of toppings: butter, maple syrup, fresh fruit, whipped cream, or a dusting of powdered sugar.
