Fluffy Buttermilk Pancakes Recipe

Ingredients:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour

• 2 tablespoons sugar

• 2 teaspoons baking powder

• 1 teaspoon baking soda

• 1/2 teaspoon salt

• 2 cups buttermilk

• 2 large eggs

• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

• Butter or oil for cooking

Instructions:

1. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

2. Prepare Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, beat the eggs, then add buttermilk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Stir until well combined.

3. Combine: Gently mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir just until combined—lumps are okay! Overmixing will make the pancakes dense instead of fluffy.

4. Preheat Pan: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or oil.

5. Cook Pancakes: Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the pan for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.

6. Serve & Enjoy: Stack the pancakes high and serve warm with your favorite toppings!

Topping Ideas:

• Classic maple syrup and butter

• Fresh berries and whipped cream

• Peanut butter and banana slices

• Chocolate chips and caramel drizzle

Tips for Perfect Pancakes:

• Don’t overmix the batter; a few lumps are fine.

• Use real buttermilk for the fluffiest texture, or make a substitute by adding 1 tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice to 2 cups of milk.

• Cook on medium heat to avoid burning while ensuring they cook through.

• Keep pancakes warm by placing them in a 200°F oven while making the rest.
