Classic Pancakes

Ingredients

• All-Purpose Flour1 Cup
• Sugar2 Tablespoon
• Baking Soda1 Tablespoon
• Baking Powder1 Tablespoon
• Salt1 Tablespoon
• Buttermilk1 Cup
• Eggs2 Unit
• Unsalted Butter1 Cup
• Vanilla Extract1 Tablespoon

Steps

1. 1.

   In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.

2. 2.

   In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.

3. 3.

   Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently stir the mixture with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; it’s okay if there are a few lumps.

4. 4.

   Preheat a griddle or large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with butter or a non-stick cooking spray.

5. 5.

   Pour ¼ cup of batter onto the griddle for each pancake. Spread the batter out slightly with the back of a spoon if necessary. Cook until bubbles form on the surface of the pancake and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip the pancake and cook until the other side is golden brown, about 1-2 minutes more. Adjust the heat as needed to ensure the pancakes cook evenly without burning.

6. 6.

   Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate and keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the griddle as needed.

7. 7.

   Serve the pancakes warm with your choice of toppings such as maple syrup, fresh berries, whipped cream, or butter.
