Ingredients

Steps

  1. Whisk the dry ingredients together in a large bowl.
  2. Whisk the buttermilk, eggs, melted butter and vanilla in another.
  3. Pour the wet into the dry and fold about ten times. It should still be lumpy. Overmixing is what makes tough pancakes.
  4. Let the batter rest 15 minutes. It will thicken and puff.
  5. Cook on a buttered griddle over medium, about 1/3 cup each, until bubbles form and the edges look dry, 2-3 minutes. Flip once and cook 90 seconds more.
👨‍🍳 The rest is not optional. It hydrates the flour and lets the leavening start, which is where the height comes from.
