Buttermilk, a rested batter, and lumps left alone.
⏱ 25 min · easy · 🍽 serves 4
Ingredients
- 2 cups flour
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 2 1/2 cups buttermilk
- 2 eggs
- 4 tbsp melted butter, plus more for the pan
- 1 tsp vanilla
Steps
- Whisk the dry ingredients together in a large bowl.
- Whisk the buttermilk, eggs, melted butter and vanilla in another.
- Pour the wet into the dry and fold about ten times. It should still be lumpy. Overmixing is what makes tough pancakes.
- Let the batter rest 15 minutes. It will thicken and puff.
- 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.
