Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 4 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 3/4 cups buttermilk
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • Butter or oil for the griddle

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. This mixes the dry ingredients well.
  2. In a separate medium bowl, whisk the eggs, buttermilk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until combined.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix gently with a whisk or spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps in the batter are fine and help create fluffiness.
  4. Let the batter rest at room temperature for 5 to 10 minutes. This allows the baking powder to activate.
  5. Heat a large griddle or non-stick skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with butter or oil. The griddle is ready when a drop of water sizzles immediately.
  6. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until bubbles appear on the surface and the edges look set.
  7. Flip the pancakes and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes until golden brown on the underside.
  8. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings for a perfect stack of pancakes.

Notes

  • For extra fluffy pancakes, separate the egg whites, whisk them to soft peaks, and gently fold them into the batter just before cooking.
  • Use whole buttermilk for the richest flavor and best rise.
  • Keep cooked pancakes warm in a single layer on a baking sheet in a 200°F oven while you finish the batch.
