Cook Time 15 minutes
Servings 12 pancakes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 cups buttermilk
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Butter or oil for cooking

Instructions
 

  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then whisk in the buttermilk, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients.
  • Stir gently until just combined. The batter should be lumpy; do not overmix.
  • Let the batter rest for 5 to 10 minutes at room temperature.
  • Preheat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat.
  • Lightly grease the pan with butter or oil.
  • Scoop 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake.
  • Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges start to look dry, about 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Flip and cook the other side for another 1 to 2 minutes, or until golden brown.
  • Transfer cooked pancakes to a plate and keep warm while repeating with remaining batter.
  • Serve warm with butter, syrup, or your favorite toppings.
