⏱ Prep Time: 10 minutes | 👨🍳 Cook Time: 15 minutes | 🍽 Makes: 12 pancakes
Ingredients:
Dry Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients:
- 2 cups buttermilk
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup melted butter (plus more for cooking)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For Serving:
- Maple syrup
- Fresh berries (blueberries, strawberries)
- Butter
- Powdered sugar (optional)
Instructions:
- Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Mix wet ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla.
- Combine: Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients. Gently fold together until just combined. Some lumps are okay—don’t overmix!
- Rest batter: Let batter rest for 5 minutes. It will thicken slightly.
- Heat griddle: Preheat a griddle or large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Brush lightly with butter.
- Cook pancakes: Pour 1/4 cup batter for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set (about 2-3 minutes). Flip and cook another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
- Keep warm: Transfer cooked pancakes to a baking sheet in a 200°F (95°C) oven while cooking remaining batches.
- Serve: Stack pancakes on plates. Top with butter, fresh berries, and drizzle generously with maple syrup.
Chef’s Tips:
- Don’t overmix the batter—lumps = fluffy pancakes!
- Wait for bubbles before flipping—patience is key
- No buttermilk? Add 2 tablespoons lemon juice to regular milk and let sit 5 minutes
- For extra fluffy pancakes, separate eggs and whip egg whites before folding in
