Ingredients
2 cups flour
2 eggs
2 cups buttermilk
2 Tblsp sugar
2 tsp baking powder
2 Tblsp melted butter
2 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp baking soda
a pinch of salt
Directions
- Combine dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl
- In a separate bowl mix the wet ingredients (excluding the melted butter)
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients (careful not to overmix)
- Slowly stir in the melted butter
- Heat griddle or frying pan to medium-high heat (375-390°) and grease with butter (wait for the butter to melt before proceeding)
- Once the butter begins to fry, use a measuring cup or ladle to transfer the batter to the cooking surface; about 1/4 cup for small cakes, 1/3 cup for medium, 1/2 cup for Paul Bunyan-sized (be sure to spread the batter around evenly making circles to your desired pancake size)
- Cook on each side for about 3mins or until gold-brown (thinner batter/pancakes will cook faster, thicker batter/cakes will take the full 3mins or longer, especially the first round or if using a lower heat setting); add more butter to the cooking surface every couple of rounds as needed
- Transfer cooked pancakes to a serving plate and cover loosely with tin foil until ready to serve; alternatively, turn the oven on the warm setting and place in the oven (cover loosely with foil to avoid drying out)
Notes
- For any leftover pancakes, wrap them in tin foil, seal in a ziplock bag, and place in the freezer. Frozen cakes make for a quick and easy breakfast or snack. To avoid a rubbery texture, reheat the cakes in the oven or toaster as opposed to the microwave.
