Ingredients

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 TB sugar
  • 3 tsp baking powder
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 3/4 tsp salt
  • 3 cups buttermilk
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 3 eggs
  • 1/3 cup butter, melted
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl. 
  2. In a separate bowl, beat buttermilk, milk, eggs, melted butter and vanilla together.
  3. Using a wooden spoon, mix the wet and dry ingredients together until just combined. Don't overmix! There will probably be flour lumps, which is okay. 
  4. Lightly oil a griddle or frying pan and heat to medium-high (about 375°F). Pour about ¼ cup of batter onto the griddle for each pancake.
  5. Cook until bubbles appear and the underside is lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Flip and cook for 2 minutes more until browned on the second side. Add favorite toppings and serve warm.

Notes

  • You can always cook all the batter, and FREEZE the leftover pancakes you don't eat (see instructions below).
  • If you want to save the extra batter and make pancakes for breakfast again tomorrow, you can easily STORE the batter in a bowl and cover tightly with plastic wrap, or store in an airtight container. Keep it in the refrigerator for up to two days.
  • REHEAT in the microwave or oven until warmed through.
  • Place in a freezer-bag once they cool to room temperature.
  • Make sure you separate each pancake with wax paper so they don't stick together when they freeze. They keep well for 1-2 months. For even more info check out our article on How to Freeze Pancakes.
