Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Batter

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

  2. 2

    Mix Wet Ingredients

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until combined.

  3. 3

    Combine Mixtures

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; some lumps are okay.

  4. 4

    Add Optional Ingredients

    If desired, fold in chocolate chips or berries into the batter.

  5. 5

    Cook the Pancakes

    Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Pour 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook until golden brown on the other side.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Stack three pancakes high and serve warm with your choice of syrup, butter, or additional toppings.
