Method:Stovetop
Cuisine:American
Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour (250g)
3 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
2¼ cups buttermilk (530ml)
2 large eggs, lightly beaten (room temperature preferred)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled (57g)
Instructions
Prep the Ingredients: Measure and set out all your ingredients. If eggs are cold, let them come to room temperature.
Mix the Dry Ingredients: Whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large mixing bowl.
Combine the Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, stir together buttermilk, eggs, vanilla extract, and melted butter.
Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gently mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
Heat the Skillet: Warm a non-stick skillet over medium heat, and grease lightly with butter or oil.
Cook the Pancakes: Scoop ¼ cup of batter per pancake onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form and edges set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes.
Serve and Enjoy: Serve warm with your favorite toppings like syrup, fruit, or butter.
Notes
If you don’t have buttermilk, substitute by mixing 2 cups of milk with 2 tablespoons of lemon juice or vinegar. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
These pancakes freeze well! Cool completely, layer with parchment paper, and store in a freezer-safe bag.
