These buttermilk pancakes are a breakfast classic. Serve with a pat of butter, warm maple syrup and fresh berries.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 cups buttermilk
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter , melted
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tsp vanilla
  • maple syrup , optional
  • berries , optional

Instructions

  • WHISK flour with sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl. Whisk buttermilk with butter, eggs and vanilla in a medium bowl. Scrape buttermilk mixture into flour mixture. Whisk until batter is just combined. It will be lumpy.
  • HEAT a large non-stick frying pan over medium. Spray with oil. Pour 1/3 cup batter into pan. If the pan is big enough, add more 1/3-cup portions of batter. Cook until bubbles form on top of each pancake and edges begin to brown, 2 to 4 min. Using a wide spatula, flip and continue cooking until the bottoms of pancakes are golden, 2 to 3 min. Don’t press or they will become tough. Transfer to a plate. Repeat with remaining batter. Serve with berries and maple syrup.
