  • Author: The Prestons
  • Prep Time: 10 minutes
  • Cook Time: 15 minutes
  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: Makes 12-14 pancakes 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 cups buttermilk
  • 1/4 cup whole milk
  • 1/4 cup melted butter (plus more for cooking)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

  • Mix Dry Ingredients:

    • In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and sugar until well combined.
  • Mix Wet Ingredients:

    • In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, buttermilk, whole milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract (if using).
  • Combine Ingredients:

    • Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. The batter should be slightly lumpy, avoid overmixing.
  • Preheat Griddle:

    • Heat a griddle or large skillet over medium heat and add a small amount of butter to coat the surface.
  • Cook Pancakes:

    • Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the griddle for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
  • Serve:

    • Serve hot with butter, maple syrup, fresh fruit, or your favorite pancake toppings.

Notes

  • For Fluffier Pancakes: Let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes before cooking.
  • Storage: Store leftover pancakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months. Reheat in the toaster or microwave.
  • Serving Tip: Add a handful of chocolate chips or blueberries to the batter for a delicious twist.
