Ingredients
Scale:
1 and 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 and 1/4 cups buttermilk
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Maple syrup (optional)
Fresh berries (optional)
Nuts or seeds (optional)
Whipped cream (optional)
Chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together all the dry ingredients: flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Ensure there are no lumps for a smooth batter.
In a separate bowl, combine the wet ingredients: buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Whisk until well blended.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. It's okay if the batter is a bit lumpy.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with oil or butter. For super crispy edges, use a bit more oil than usual.
Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges appear set, about 2-3 minutes.
Flip the pancakes and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
Remove from the skillet and keep warm in a low oven if not serving immediately.
