Whether you enjoy them with a drizzle of maple syrup, a dollop of whipped cream, or fresh fruit, these pancakes are the ultimate breakfast treat.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups buttermilk, shaken
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Butter or oil for cooking
Optional Additions:
- Fresh berries (blueberries, strawberries, etc.)
- Chocolate chips
- Sliced bananas
Instructions:
1. Preheat and Prepare:
- Preheat a griddle or large skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or oil.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients:
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
3. Combine Wet Ingredients:
- In another bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
4. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined. The batter should be slightly lumpy; do not overmix.
5. Cook the Pancakes:
- For each pancake, pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the preheated griddle or skillet. If using, sprinkle the optional additions (berries, chocolate chips, etc.) onto the batter.
- Cook until bubbles form on the surface of the pancake and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook until the other side is golden brown, another 1-2 minutes.
- Remove from the griddle and keep warm. Repeat with remaining batter, greasing the griddle as needed.
6. Serve:
- Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, fresh fruit, whipped cream, or powdered sugar.
Tips for Success:
- For extra fluffy pancakes, allow the batter to rest for a few minutes before cooking.
- Do not press down on the pancakes while they cook, as this can make them dense.
- Keep cooked pancakes warm in a low oven (200°F or 95°C) until ready to serve.
