Ingredients
Scale
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 3/4 cups buttermilk
2 large eggs
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and eggs.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
Gently stir in the melted butter.
Let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes.
Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium-high heat.
Pour or scoop about 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake.
Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Serve immediately with your favorite toppings.
Notes
For extra fluffy pancakes, ensure your baking powder and baking soda are fresh.
If you don’t have buttermilk, you can make a substitute by adding 1 tablespoon of white vinegar or lemon juice to 1 3/4 cups of milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
Avoid overmixing the batter to keep your pancakes tender.
