Equipment
- Mixing bowls (2)
- Whisk
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Non-stick skillet or griddle
- Spatula
- Ladle or measuring cup
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups buttermilk
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Pour wet ingredients into the dry. Stir gently until just combined. Batter will be lumpy, don’t overmix.
- Let the batter sit for 5-10 minutes. This helps the gluten relax and gives you fluffier pancakes.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Grease lightly with butter or oil. Pour 1/4 cup of batter per pancake. Cook until bubbles appear on the surface (2-3 minutes), flip, then cook until golden (another 1-2 minutes).
- Serve hot with maple syrup, berries, whipped cream, or your favorite toppings.
