  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients:

  • 2 large eggs

Instructions
 

Mix the Dry Ingredients

  • In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Mix the Wet Ingredients

  • In another bowl, whisk together eggs, buttermilk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Combine & Rest the Batter

  • Gently pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients.
  • Stir with a spatula or whisk until just combined—do NOT overmix! The batter should be slightly lumpy.
  • Let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes for ultra-fluffy pancakes.

Cook the Pancakes

  • Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-low heat. Lightly grease with butter or oil.
  • Pour ¼ cup of batter onto the pan for each pancake.
  • Cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set.
  • Flip gently and cook for 1-2 more minutes until golden brown.
  • Repeat with remaining batter, greasing the pan as needed.

Serve & Enjoy!

  • Stack the pancakes, add your favorite toppings, and drizzle with maple syrup.
  • Serve warm and enjoy!
  • Pro Tips for Ultra-Fluffy Pancakes:
  • ✔ Use buttermilk – It reacts with baking soda to create extra fluff.
  • ✔ Let the batter rest – This allows the gluten to relax, making softer pancakes.
  • ✔ Don’t overmix – A few lumps are good! Overmixing makes pancakes tough.
  • ✔ Low and slow heat – Prevents burning while ensuring even cooking.
