Servings: 8 pancakes
Calories: 189kcal
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cup all-purpose flour
- 3 tbs sugar
- 2 teaspoon baking powder
- ¾ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 ½ cups buttermilk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 ½ teaspoon vanilla
- 4 tbs unsalted butter melted, or vegetable oil
Instructions
- Melt 4 tablespoons of butter and set aside to cool.
- Whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a large bowl. In a large measuring cup, whisk the buttermilk, eggs, and vanilla. Add the cooled, melted butter and whisk until well combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the flour mixture and fold together until combined. Set aside to rest for 10 minutes.
- Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. When warm, add a teaspoon or so of butter and let melt. Drop ¼ cup scoops of pancake batter into pan. It will spread out a bit. After 2-3 minutes, bubbles will start to form on the edges and surface of the pancake.
- When the bubbles on the edges look dry and airy, use a thin pancake spatula to gently lift one side and peek underneath. If the pancake is golden brown, flip and cook on the other side for 2 to 2 ½ minutes, or until the bottom of the pancake is golden brown.
- Place cooked pancakes in a pancake or tortilla warmer, or on a plate with a large bowl turned upside down over the top, to keep them warm.
- Serve with warm maple syrup, fruit compote, or your favorite toppings.
Notes
If using milk, in place of buttermilk, leave out the baking soda and add ½ teaspoon more baking powder.
This is a thicker batter, making taller, fluffier pancakes. If you prefer a thinner batter, add a couple more tablespoons of buttermilk, up to ¼ cup, until you get the consistency you prefer.
