Ingredients

  • 2 c Flour
  • 3 T Sugar
  • 1 ½ tsp Baking Powder
  • 1 ½ tsp Baking Soda
  • 1 ¼ tsp Kosher Salt
  • 2 ½ c Buttermilk
  • 2 Eggs slightly beaten
  • 3 T unsalted Butter melted & cooled
  • 1 T Vanilla Extract
  • ¼ c Cornmeal optional*
  • 1 c Blueberries optional*

Instructions

  • Put a large skillet on the stove and heat over medium heat.
  • Add the first 5 ingredients to a large mixing bowl and whisk to combine.
  • Create a well in the center for the dry ingredients and add the buttermilk, eggs, butter and vanilla.
  • Start whisking in the center and move out towards the sides. Mix just until combined, batter should be lumpy.
  • *If desired, add the cornmeal and blueberries to the batter. Gently combine/fold just until mixed.
  • Add a pat of butter to the skillet and CAREFULLY wipe off with a paper towel.
  • Use a ladle to scoop the batter onto the prepared pan.
  • When the pancake starts to bubble (even in the middle) and the edges start to dry, around 2-3 minutes, flip the pancake. Cook for another 1-2 minutes on the other side.
  • Repeat until all batter is used.
  • Serve immediately or let cool on a cooling rack.

Notes

Leftover pancakes that have cooled completely can be stored in a freezer safe Ziploc and placed in the freezer. Take as many out as desired and pop them in the toaster for a quick and easy breakfast (or snack, lunch, dinner… whenever)!
