Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 tablespoons sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder and 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups buttermilk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
 

Step-By-Step Instructions:

  • Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the eggs with the buttermilk, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
  • Create The Batter: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry. Mix until just combined; lumps are perfectly fine. Overmixing will lead to dense pancakes.
  • Rest The Batter: Let it sit for 10 minutes. This step is crucial for light and fluffy pancakes.

Cooking Techniques

  • Preheat Your Griddle: Aim for a medium heat. To test, sprinkle a few drops of water; they should dance around before evaporating.
  • Grease Lightly: Use butter or cooking spray for a golden, crispy edge.
  • Portion Control: For consistent pancakes, use a 1/4 cup measure for each pancake.
  • Cook To Perfection: When bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, flip your pancake. Cook until golden brown.
