Buttermilk Pancakes

Recipe by gingham

Tall, fluffy pancakes with a little tang from the buttermilk. The batter comes together in one bowl while the pan heats.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 2 cups buttermilk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3 tbsp butter, melted, plus more for the pan
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Method

  1. Whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl.

  2. In another bowl, whisk the buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla.

  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ones and stir until just combined. A few lumps are fine. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes while the pan heats.

  4. Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and brush it with a little butter.

  5. Pour in 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake. Cook until bubbles cover the top and the edges look dry, 2 to 3 minutes, then flip and cook until golden, 1 to 2 minutes more.

  6. Keep the finished pancakes warm in a 200°F oven while you cook the rest.

No buttermilk? Stir 2 tbsp lemon juice into 2 cups milk and let it sit for 5 minutes.
