Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the batter

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

  2. 2

    Combine wet ingredients

    In another bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs, and melted unsalted butter until smooth.

  3. 3

    Mix dry and wet ingredients

    Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine.

  4. 4

    Preheat the skillet

    Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with cooking spray or additional butter.

  5. 5

    Cook the pancakes

    Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook until golden brown on the other side, about 1-2 minutes more.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the pancakes hot with maple syrup and a dollop of sea salt butter on top.
