Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour (250g)
- 2 Tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups buttermilk (480ml)
- 2 large eggs lightly beaten
- 4 Tablespoons melted salted butter plus more for the pan
Instructions
- In a large bowl, add the dry ingredients and stir to combine.
- Add the buttermilk, eggs, and melted butter and stir just to combine. Do not overmix the batter - stir just until the streaks of flour are gone. It's okay to have lumpy pancake batter.
- To cook the pancakes, heat a griddle or large frying pan over medium heat. Add a pat of butter to the pan and let it melt, then scoop about 1/3 cup of batter and drop it into the pan to form a pancake.
- Cook the pancakes until small bubbles appear and start to pop on the top, then flip with a large spatula and cook the other side until golden brown, another 1-2 minutes. Repeat with remaining pancake batter.
- Serve the pancakes hot with butter and syrup or jam, peanut butter and mini chocolate chips, or whipped cream and fresh fruit!

Notes
- Substitutions: If you don't have buttermilk on hand, you can make a quick and easy substitute by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to a 1 cup measuring cup, then filling it the rest of the way with whole milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
- Blueberry pancakes: Sprinkle fresh or frozen blueberries onto each pancake right after they are poured onto the griddle to make blueberry pancakes.
- Chocolate chip pancakes: Sprinkle regular or mini semisweet chocolate chips onto each pancake right after they are poured onto the griddle to make chocolate chip pancakes.
