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, plus more for griddle
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
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.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Batter will be lumpy; do not overmix.
- Heat a griddle or large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Lightly butter the surface.
- Pour 1/4 cup batter per pancake onto the griddle. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
- Flip and cook until golden brown on the other side, about 1-2 minutes more.
- Serve immediately with butter and maple syrup.
Tips
- For extra fluffy pancakes, let the batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking.
- Keep pancakes warm in a 200°F oven while cooking remaining batches.
- Substitute buttermilk by adding 1 tablespoon lemon juice or vinegar to 2 cups milk and letting sit for 5 minutes.
