Ingredients

  

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2¼ cups buttermilk room temperature
• 2 large eggs room temperature
• 4 tablespoons melted butter plus more for griddle
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• ½ teaspoon baking soda
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Instructions

 

• Whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. in a large bowl until evenly distributed. The careful measurement of leavening agents here is crucial for optimal rise.
• In a separate bowl, whisk eggs. until just broken up, then stream in buttermilk while continuously whisking. Add melted butter and vanilla, incorporating until just combined. The room temperature ingredients will ensure even mixing.
• Create a well in the dry ingredients and pour in the wet mixture. Using a rubber spatula, fold gently with broad strokes until barely mixed. Small lumps are desirable – they create steam pockets for extra fluffiness.
• Allow batter to rest for 10-15 minutes. During this time, preheat your griddle or heavy-bottomed pan to medium (350°F). Test readiness with a few water droplets – they should dance across the surface.
• Brush surface lightly with butter and ladle ⅓ cup portions of batter. Watch for bubbles to form and edges to set before flipping – typically 2-3 minutes per side.

FAQ’s:

Q: Why are my pancakes not fluffy?

A: Common causes include overmixing, old leavening agents, or too-thin batter. Ensure ingredients are fresh and mix until just combined.

Q: Can I make the batter ahead?

A: While best fresh, you can refrigerate for up to 1 hour. The pancakes might be slightly less fluffy.

Q: How do I achieve a golden-brown color?

A: Maintain medium heat and brush the griddle with butter before each batch. Too high heat leads to dark exteriors with raw centers.

Q: Can I substitute regular milk?

A: Yes, mix 2 cups milk with 2 tablespoons lemon juice, and let stand 5 minutes before using.

Q: Why let the batter rest?

A: Resting allows flour to hydrate and gluten to relaxmakingin more tender pancakes.
