Ingredients
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
1 cup pure maple syrup, for serving
Instructions
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk together buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
Heat a griddle or nonstick skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or oil.
Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the griddle for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
Flip and cook until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes more.
Repeat with remaining batter, adjusting heat as needed.
Serve pancakes warm with warm maple syrup.
Tips
For extra fluffy pancakes, let the batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking.
Leftover pancakes can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 1 month.
Warm maple syrup in a small saucepan or microwave before serving.
