Classic buttermilk pancakes are a breakfast staple, known for their fluffy texture and slightly tangy flavor. To make these pancakes, you’ll need flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, buttermilk, eggs, butter, and vanilla extract.:
Start by whisking together the dry ingredients in a bowl: flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients: buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract.:
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in tough pancakes.:
Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or cooking spray. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface of the pancakes and the edges look set, then flip and cook for another minute or until golden brown.:
Serve the pancakes warm with butter, maple syrup, and any other toppings you like, such as fresh berries or whipped cream. Enjoy!:
