Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (sifted)
  • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups buttermilk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted and cooled slightly)
  • 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil (for greasing the pan)

Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Whisk
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Griddle or frying pan
  • Spatula

Method
 

  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  3. Pour the wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently stir until just combined.
  4. Heat your griddle or frying pan over medium heat and lightly grease it with vegetable oil.
  5. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the heated pan for each pancake. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until bubbles form and edges look set.
  6. Carefully flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes on the other side until golden brown.
  7. Stack the pancakes on a plate and serve warm with your favorite toppings.

Notes

  • For fluffier pancakes, avoid over-mixing the batter.
  • Try adding chocolate chips or fruits to the batter for extra flavor.
  • Leftover pancakes can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
