Serving: 4 | Pre Time: 10 minutes | Cooking Time: 15 minutes
Ingredients
– 2 cups of all-purpose flour
– 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar
– 2 teaspoons of baking powder
– 1 teaspoon of baking soda
– 1 teaspoon of salt
– 2 cups of buttermilk (cold from the fridge works best for fluffiness!)
– 2 large eggs
– 1/4 cup of melted butter, cooled a bit
– A splash of vanilla extract
– Butter or oil for greasing the pan
Instructions
1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.

3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix just until no dry streaks remain—don’t overmix to keep them tender!
4. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes at room temperature; this helps the baking powder activate for extra fluff.

6. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot surface for each pancake, cooking until bubbles form on top and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
7. Flip the pancakes carefully and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown on both sides.
8. Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the pan as needed to prevent sticking.
9. Serve immediately while warm. Got leftovers? Cool them on a rack to avoid sogginess before storing.
Golden and pillowy, these pancakes have a subtle tang from the buttermilk that pairs perfectly with maple syrup. Try topping them with fresh berries or a dollop of whipped cream for a fun twist—they’re so light, you might just go for seconds!
