Ingredients

  • 3 cups All-Purpose Flour
  • 3 tablespoons Sugar
  • 1 tablespoons Baking Powder
  • 1 ½ teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 1 ½ teaspoon Salt
  • 3 large Eggs
  • 3 cups Buttermilk
  • cup Butter melted, plus more for frying pancakes
  • 1 tablespoon Vanilla Extract

Instructions

  • In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt and whisk to combine.
  • In a large measuring cup, combine the eggs, buttermilk, melted butter and vanilla extract and whisk to break up the eggs.
  • Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and gently fold them together until well-combined and set aside. (Note: You don't want to overmix - the mixture should still be a little lumpy.)
  • Heat a pan or non-stick griddle over medium heat, then add about a tablespoon of butter to grease the pan.
  • For each pancakes, pour about ⅓ cup batter on the griddle and let it spread out into a 4" round pancake. Depending on the size of your pan, you may be able to cook up to 3 at a time.
  • Allow the pancakes to cook until bubbles appear on the surface and the edges are beginning to look cooked, or about 2 minutes. Flip the pancakes, using a spatula, and continue to cook the other side until golden and cooked through, or about 1 minute more.
  • Repeat this process with remaining batter. Serve pancakes with butter, syrup or your favorite toppings. Enjoy!
