Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups buttermilk
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Butter or oil for greasing the pan
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In another bowl, whisk the buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
- Let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes while heating a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat.
- Lightly grease the skillet with butter or oil.
- Pour 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
- Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
- Repeat with remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed.
- Serve warm with your favorite toppings.
Notes
- Do not overmix the batter—lumps are okay and make fluffier pancakes.
- Letting the batter rest allows the gluten to relax for a tender texture.
- Use room-temperature ingredients for better consistency.
