Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups milk of choice whole milk works best
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons vinegar or lemon juice
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 eggs
  • 4 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  • First, you'll make the buttermilk. In a large 4-cup measuring cup (or mixing bowl), add 1 1/2 cups of milk and 1 1/2 tablespoons of vinegar. Let sit while you prepare the remaining ingredients.
  • Using a large mixing bowl, add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, and salt. Whisk ingredients and set aside. 
  • Add the eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract to the buttermilk mixture. Whisk together until well combined.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients. Whisk until just combined. Let sit for 5-30 minutes (I usually only do 5 minutes, but if you have the time, feel free to let the batter rest longer!). 
  • Add the skillet to the stove and set the stove heat to medium-high heat. Add a tablespoon of butter or olive oil to the skillet. Once heated, turn the heat down to low-medium.
  • Scoop the batter into the skillet. If you want smaller pancakes, use a 1/2 cup measuring cup to scoop the batter. If you want large pancakes, use a 1-cup measuring cup to scoop the batter. 
  • Cook the pancakes on the skillet for a few minutes each side. You'll know they are ready to flip over when you see the batter start to bubble up.
  • Enjoy!!
