Buttermilk Pancakes From Scratch

Serves	16
Prep time	5 minutes
Cook time	15 minutes
Total time	20 minutes
Meal type	Breakfast
Slightly adapted from recipe on	Oh Sweet Basil

Ingredients

2 Cups flour (careful not to pack down when measuring)
2 Tablespoons sugar
2 Teaspoons baking powder
1 Teaspoon baking soda
1 Teaspoon salt
2 eggs
2 Cups buttermilk*
2 Teaspoons vanilla extract
2 Tablespoons unsalted butter, softened

Note

I am forever in debt to Oh, Sweet Basil for the original recipe for these buttermilk pancakes. The only modification I made was the addition of a little vanilla extract because I love the extra layer of flavor it gives. My technique for preparing the pancakes was slightly different -- I'm not a big fan of sifting, especially when I'm making breakfast! I hope you enjoy these. They'd be excellent topped with Caramelized Banana Topping too!

If you don't have buttermilk, the internet is full of info on how to substitute. My favorite is 3 Tablespoons lemon juice plus enough milk to equal 2 cups. Stir gently and let sit for 3 minutes.

Directions

Step 1
In a medium bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients. Add remaining ingredients and stir only enough to combine. Do not over-mix. It is okay if there are some small lumps.
Step 2
In a non-stick skillet over medium heat, add about ⅓ cup batter. Cook until bubbles form, pop and batter no longer runs into the middle of those holes. Flip pancake and continue cooking until pancake is golden. This recipe should yield about 16 pancakes.
