Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups (190 grams) all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 ¼ cups (300 ml) buttermilk
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 4 tablespoons (60 grams) unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold with a spatula just until combined; some small lumps should remain.
- Let the batter rest for 5 to 10 minutes at room temperature.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.
- Pour ¼ cup (60 ml) batter per pancake onto the skillet.
- Cook until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
- Flip carefully and cook another 1-2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
Notes
Use fresh baking powder and baking soda for best rise. Gently fold batter to avoid overmixing. Rest batter 5-10 minutes before cooking. Adjust stove heat to avoid burning or undercooking. Use a ladle or measuring cup for consistent pancake size. Avoid pressing pancakes while cooking to keep them fluffy.
