Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 3 tbsp sugar
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 cups buttermilk
  • 4 tbsp melted butter

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, mix the dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, salt).
  • In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, buttermilk, and melted butter.
  • Gradually combine the wet and dry ingredients until just mixed; do not overmix.
  • Heat a non-stick pan or griddle over medium heat; grease lightly with butter or oil.
  • Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the pan for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook for another minute or two until golden.
  • Serve warm with your favorite toppings like butter, syrup, or fresh fruit.

Notes

  • For fluffier pancakes, let the batter rest for 5–10 minutes before cooking.
  • Substitute buttermilk with regular milk and a splash of lemon juice for a tangy alternative.
