Ingredients

  • all-purpose flour
    2 c
  • granulated sugar
    3 tbsp
  • baking powder
    1 ½ tsp
  • baking soda
    1 ½ tsp
  • kosher salt
    1 tsp
  • buttermilk
    2 ½ c
  • eggs
    2 large
  • vanilla extract
    1 ½ tsp
  • melted butter
    ¼ c
  • butter for griddle or skillet

Directions

  1. 1

    Whisk dry ingredients together. Whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl.

  2. 2

    Whisk wet ingredients together. Whisk together buttermilk, eggs, vanilla extract, and melted butter or cooking oil in a large bowl.

  3. 3

    Combine. Pour buttermilk mixture slowly into the flour mixture, stirring to combine as you pour. Allow to rest for at least 5 minutes to thicken for the fluffiest pancakes.

  4. 4

    Cook. Heat griddle or skillet over medium-low heat. Add butter to griddle or skillet to make sure well coated. Scoop pancake batter onto prepared griddle or skillet by about 1/3 cup. Allow to cook until the edges of the pancake have lost their sheen and bubbles have formed in the center of the top of the pancake, about 2-3 minutes. Flip the pancake and allow to cook about 2-3 minutes on the other side.

  5. 5

    Serve. Remove from griddle or skillet and serve warm or place on a rimmed sheet pan in a 200º F oven to keep warm for serving.
