Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups buttermilk
- 2 large eggs
- 4 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Butter for cooking
Instructions
- Whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl.
- In another bowl, mix buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined.
- Let the batter rest for 5 minutes to activate the leavening agents.
- Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and melt a little butter.
- Pour about 1/4 cup batter for each pancake.
- Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2 minutes.
- Flip the pancake and cook the other side until golden brown.
- Serve warm with butter, maple syrup, or fresh fruit.
Notes
Do not overmix the batter to keep pancakes light and fluffy. If you do not have buttermilk, mix 1 cup milk with 1 tablespoon lemon juice and let it sit for 10 minutes. Pancakes can be stored in the refrigerator for 3 days or frozen for up to 2 months. Reheat in a toaster or skillet for best texture.
