Instructions

  1. Whisk dry ingredients together. Whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl.
  2. Whisk wet ingredients together. Whisk together buttermilk, eggs, vanilla extract, and melted butter or cooking oil in a 2-cup measuring cup.
  3. Combine. Pour buttermilk mixture slowly into the flour mixture, stirring to combine as you pour. Allow to rest for at least 5 minutes to thicken for the fluffiest pancakes.
  4. Cook. Heat griddle or skillet over medium-low heat. Add butter to griddle or skillet to make sure well coated. Scoop pancake batter onto prepared griddle or skillet by about 1/3 cup. Allow to cook until the edges of the pancake have lost their sheen and bubbles have formed in the center of the top of the pancake, about 2-3 minutes. Flip the pancake and allow to cook about 2-3 minutes on the other side.
  5. Serve. Remove from griddle or skillet and serve warm or place on a rimmed sheet pan in a 200º F oven to keep warm for serving.
