Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 2 cups Buttermilk
- 2 Large eggs
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted and cooled)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- Nonstick cooking spray or butter (for the griddle)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently stir until just combined. A few lumps in the batter are perfectly fine—do not overmix, or the pancakes may turn out tough.
Let the batter rest for 5 minutes to allow the baking powder and baking soda to activate, ensuring fluffy pancakes.
Preheat a nonstick griddle or large skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with nonstick cooking spray or a small amount of butter.
Once the griddle is hot, pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the surface for each pancake. Spread out slightly with the back of a spoon if needed.
Cook the pancakes for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles start to form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip the pancakes and cook for another 2 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate and keep them warm in a low oven if necessary. Repeat the process with the remaining batter, greasing the griddle as needed.
Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings, such as maple syrup, fresh fruit, or a dollop of whipped cream.
