Buttermilk Pancakes
Ingredients
- Flour – 2 cups (250g)
- Baking Soda – 1/2 teaspoons
- Baking Powder – 2 teaspoons
- Sugar – 3 tablespoons
- Salt – 1/2 teaspoon
- Buttermilk – 2 1/4 cups (2 small half pint cartons will work)
- Large Eggs – 2, lightly beaten, room temp if possible
- Vanilla Extract – 1 teaspoon
- Butter – 4 tablespoons (half stick), melted, cooled
Necessary Equipment
- Large mixing bowl
- Medium mixing bowl
- Wooden mixing spoon
- Non-stick skillet
- Pancake flipper
Instructions
Combine Dry Ingredients
- In the large bowl, combine flour (250g), baking soda (1/2 tsp.), baking powder (2 tsp.), sugar (3 tbsp.) and salt (1/2 tsp.) until everything is a big pile of white dust.
Wet Ingredients
- In the medium-sized bowl, whisk together buttermilk (2 1/4 cups), eggs (2), and vanilla extract (1 tsp.)
- Melt the butter (half stick)
- Slowly drizzle the butter into the wet ingredients
Bring it All Together
- Using a wooden spoon and featherweight hands, pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients until you barely combine them. Don’t over-mix it – it should have a few bits of dry flour in it. Seriously, don’t fuck this up.
Cook Them Puppies
- Heat the skillet up to roughly 350F. Throw a bit of butter/cooking spray/oil on the skillet and let it warm up (at least 5 minutes; that’ll give the batter some time to stiffen up)
- Take a 1/2 cup of batter and get to cookin’
- Flip that puppy about a minute or so after the bubbles start showing at the top
- Continue cooking until it’s golden brown and looks like a pancake you’d want to eat
Keep ’em Warm
- Heat the oven to 200F
- Put the pancakes on a pan in the warm oven to keep them toasty until everything else is ready!
