Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 20 minutes
Servings: 6

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 4 Tbsp sugar
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 cups buttermilk
  • 2 large egg
  • 4 Tbsp butter melted
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 2 Tbsp butter cooking
  • 2 Tbsp oil cooking

Instructions

  • Whisk together the dry ingredients in a large bowl.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs, butter, and vanilla.
  • Stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients.
  • Allow the batter to rest for 5 minutes.
  • Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat.
  • Using a 1/3 cup, ladle the batter onto the skillet.
  • Flip the pancakes over when small bubbles appear on the surface and continue cooking on the opposite side until golden brown.
  • Serve and enjoy, friends.

Notes

  • Toppings help make these pancakes so delicious. Top the pancakes with maple syrup, honey, berries, bananas, or whipped cream. The options are endless.
  • Sift to combine – Sift your dry ingredients together to prevent clumps and a lumpy batter.
  • Don’t overmix the pancake batter – Only mix the batter until it is combined. This is key to preventing flat pancakes.
  • Thick pancakes – Use a biscuit mold or the lid of a Mason jar to make thick and tall pancakes. 
  • Don’t overcrowd the pan – Cook the pancakes in batches so as not to overcrowd the pan. Be sure to wipe the pan down in between batches.
