Description
Delicious and fluffy pancakes perfect for breakfast or brunch.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 cups buttermilk
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- ¼ cup melted butter
Instructions
- Set out a large bowl for the dry ingredients, and a measuring pitcher for the wet ingredients. Add the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt to the bowl. Whisk well to incorporate the baking powder fully into the mixture. You don’t want any clumps of baking powder left here! (Now store in a jar or use immediately.)
- In the measuring pitcher, combine the buttermilk, eggs, and vanilla extract. Beat well to incorporate the eggs.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined; remember clumps are fine at this stage. Finally, mix in the melted butter. Again, don’t overmix, the moment it’s incorporated, stop stirring.
- Heat a griddle (or large skillet) over medium-low heat. Butter the griddle. Once the butter starts sizzling, use a 1/3 cup measuring cup to scoop the batter onto the griddle. Make sure to space out the pancake batter so they don’t merge together as they’re cooking.
- Allow the pancakes to cook and bubble for 3-5 minutes. You can place a spatula under the edge of a pancake and lift it to check for color. If the pancakes are turning dark too quickly, turn the heat down to low.
- Once the bottom is golden, there are bubbles over the surface of the pancake, and the edges are starting to dry out, it’s time to flip. Gently shimmy the spatula under the pancakes and flip them over quickly. Cook for another 3-5 minutes until golden.
- Repeat with the remaining batter.
Notes
- For best results, use fresh baking powder.
- Adjust the cooking time based on the heat of the griddle.
