Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 cups Buttermilk
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 as needed Nonstick cooking spray or additional butter (for greasing the pan)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly combined.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well mixed.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently whisk the mixture until just combined. It’s okay if the batter has a few small lumps; avoid overmixing as it can make the pancakes dense.
Heat a large nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with nonstick cooking spray or a small amount of butter.
Using a ladle or measuring cup, pour about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the skillet. Spread gently into a circle if needed.
Cook the pancakes for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges appear set. Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown.
Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate. Repeat the process with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as necessary between batches.
Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings such as syrup, fresh fruit, powdered sugar, or additional butter.
