Instructions
  1. Step 1: Prepare Your Ingredients. Start by gathering all your ingredients and measuring them accurately.
  2. Step 2: Mix Dry Ingredients. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. Step 3: Combine Wet Ingredients. In another bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
  4. Step 4: Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet mixture. Gently fold together.
  5. Step 5: Preheat Your Pan. Heat your non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and grease it with vegetable oil.
  6. Step 6: Cook the Pancakes. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form, then flip and cook until golden brown.
  7. Step 7: Serve and Enjoy. Stack the pancakes and serve immediately with your favorite toppings.

Notes

  • For a dairy-free version, use non-dairy milk with lemon juice or vinegar.
  • For gluten-free pancakes, substitute with a gluten-free flour blend.
  • To keep pancakes warm, place them in a preheated oven at 200°F (93°C) while cooking the rest.
