Instructions

  1. Step 1

    In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

  2. Step 2

    In another bowl, whisk buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until combined.

  3. Step 3

    Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and stir until just combined; lumps are okay. Do not overmix.

  4. Step 4

    Preheat a griddle or large skillet over medium heat and lightly butter it.

  5. Step 5

    Pour 0.25 cup batter per pancake onto the griddle. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.

  6. Step 6

    Flip and cook the other side until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes. Transfer to a warm plate.

  7. Step 7

    Repeat with remaining batter. Serve warm with butter and syrup.
