Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups buttermilk
2 large eggs
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
Cooking spray or additional butter for greasing the pan
- Toppings
Maple syrup
Fresh berries
Whipped cream
Butter
Directions
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs, and melted butter until well combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps in the batter are okay. Let the batter rest for about 5 minutes.
- Preheat a non-stick frying pan or griddle over medium heat. You can also use a lightly greased pan if desired.
- Once the pan is hot, ladle about 1/4 cup of batter onto the pan for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, and the edges start to look set, usually about 2-3 minutes.
- Flip the pancakes with a spatula and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until the other side is golden brown.
- Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate and cover with a clean kitchen towel to keep them warm while you cook the remaining batter. You can also keep them warm in a preheated oven set to low temperature.
- Repeat the process with the remaining batter until all the pancakes are cooked.
- Serve the buttermilk pancakes hot with your desired toppings such as maple syrup, fresh berries, whipped cream, or butter.
