Buttermilk Pancakes

By Lovestobake

Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 2 1/2 cups buttermilk
• 2 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons vegetable or canola oil
• 1 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided, plus more for serving
• Pure maple syrup

Preparation

Step 1

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

2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs and oil. Gradually stir the wet ingredients into the dry.

3. In a large skillet or griddle, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Working in batches, spoon ¼ cup of the pancake batter into the pan. Cook the pancakes until the edges have begun to brown and air bubbles form on the surface, about 3 minutes. Flip the pancakes and cook until golden, about 1 to 2 minutes more. Serve hot, spread with butter and drizzled with maple syrup.

Variation: To make banana pancakes, fold 2 cups of sliced fresh bananas into the batter just before cooking.
