Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups buttermilk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Mix Dry Ingredients

In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Step 2: Combine Wet Ingredients

In a separate bowl, whisk buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla until smooth.

Step 3: Combine and Rest

Pour wet mixture into dry ingredients and stir until just combined (a few lumps are fine). Let rest 5 minutes.

Step 4: Cook Pancakes

Heat a lightly greased griddle or nonstick pan over medium heat. Pour 1/4 cup batter per pancake. Cook until bubbles form, then flip and cook until golden brown.

Step 5: Serve

Serve warm with butter, maple syrup, or fresh berries.


🥞 Tip: For extra fluff, don’t overmix the batter — gentle stirring keeps your pancakes light and airy.

🎯 Pro Tip: Warm your maple syrup before drizzling — it enhances the pancake’s buttery flavor!
