Pancake Perfection


Yields: 14-16 medium pancakes


 
 

 

 

 

Ingredients:

 

 
 
 
 
2 cups flour

2 tablespoons sugar

2 teaspoons baking powder

1 teaspoon baking soda

¼ teaspoon salt

2 cups buttermilk (I used reduced fat)

2 eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla

6 tablespoons melted butter

Directions:


In a large mixing bowl, whisk together: flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk in buttermilk, vanilla, and eggs until well combined.  Stir in melted butter.  Do not over stir; the batter will be a little lumpy.

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat*.  Spray* skillet with cooking spray.  Using a ¼ measuring cup; pour batter onto hot skillet.  When the pancake is bubbling in the middle, flip to cook on the other side. 
 
 
 

 
 
 
*After the first pancake, I reduce the heat to medium-low.

* Spray skillet with cooking spray between each pancake.
