Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 15 minutes
Total Time 25 minutes
Servings: 4

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
  • 3 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Method
 

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk the buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla until combined.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and stir gently just until combined; the batter should still be lumpy. Let it rest for 5 minutes.
  4. Heat a lightly greased griddle or nonstick skillet over medium heat. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter per pancake.
  5. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2 minutes, then flip and cook 1-2 minutes more until golden.
  6. Repeat with the remaining batter, keeping cooked pancakes warm in a low oven.
