Ingredients
- 2 cups buttermilk
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
Instructions
- Preheat griddle or frying pan over medium heat or 325°F. Lightly grease with vegetable oil.
- Whisk buttermilk, eggs, and vanilla.
- Combine dry ingredients in a bowl and whisk.
- Create a well in the middle and add wet ingredients. Stir just until combined (batter should look slightly lumpy), and stir in butter. Allow the batter to rest about 5 minutes.
- Pour ⅓ cup batter for each pancake and cook on one side until bubbles form and begin to pop, about 2 minutes. Flip and cook on the other side for about 1-2 minutes.

Notes
- To Make Large Batches: If making large batches, preheat the oven to 175°F and keep a baking sheet in the oven. Keep pancakes warm on the baking sheet.
- To Make Ahead: Cook and cool pancakes. Separate pancakes with a layer of waxed paper and place them in a freezer bag. Reheat from frozen in the microwave, toaster, or oven.
- Allow the batter to rest about 3-5 minutes before cooking.
- Don't overmix the batter, it should be a bit lumpy. If needed, add extra buttermilk a tablespoon at a time to thin out or a small amount of flour if you make it too runny.
- Oil the pan by brushing or wiping the pan with vegetable oil (I use a paper towel).
- If adding berries or chocolate chips to the pancakes, sprinkle them on while they're cooking, not into the batter. This keeps the sugars from burning on the pan.
