  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda

  2. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold them together until just combined (the batter should be lumpy).

  8. Transfer cooked pancakes to a plate and repeat with remaining batter.
  9. Serve pancakes warm with a pat of butter and generous maple syrup.

Notes

Don’t overmix the batter; it should be lumpy for the fluffiest pancakes. Use fresh ingredients, especially the baking powder, for the best results. Adjust the griddle temperature as necessary to prevent burning. Leftover pancakes can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 2 months. Try folding in blueberries or chocolate chips for extra flavor!
