Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 ½ cups buttermilk room temperature
  • 2 large eggs room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter melted

Instructions

  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk all dry ingredients (2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 tbsp granulated sugar, 2 tsp baking powder, 1 tsp baking soda, 1 tsp cinnamon, and ½ tsp salt).
  • In another bowl, whisk all the wet ingredients (2 ½ cups buttermilk, 2 large eggs, 1 tsp vanilla extract, and 4 tbsp melted butter).
  • Add wet ingredients to dry ones and mix, until well combined. Let it sit for about 15-20 minutes.
  • When ready, preheat a non-stick skillet or a griddle on low heat. Add ⅓ cup batter and cook until the edges are set, the bubbles are starting to pop up, and the bottom is golden/brown color. Flip and cook on theother side.

Notes

  1. Use a real buttermilk and not a "homemade" substitution.
  2. Make sure that all the ingredients are room temperature.
  3. Don’t overmix the batter.
  4. Let the batter rest for 15-20 minutes before cooking.
  5. You don’t have to grease the pan if you use a non-stick pan or griddle.
