Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 2 cups buttermilk
• 2 pieces large eggs
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0 as needed cooking spray or additional butter

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should have some lumps.

Step 4

Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease it with cooking spray or a small amount of butter.

Step 5

Using a 1/4 cup measure, scoop the batter onto the skillet to form each hotcake. Space them apart so they don’t touch.

Step 6

Cook the hotcakes for 2-3 minutes on the first side, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges appear set. Flip them using a spatula and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown.

Step 7

Transfer the cooked hotcakes to a plate and keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter.

Step 8

Serve the hotcakes warm with your choice of toppings, such as maple syrup, fresh fruit, whipped cream, or butter.
