Equipment

Ingredients

2 ¼ cups Cake Flour
2 teaspoon Baking Powder
½ teaspoon Baking Soda
½ teaspoon Salt
2 cups Buttermilk
2 tablespoon Sugar
1 Egg
1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
2 tablespoon Butter Melted

Instructions

In a medium bowl, mix together the cake flour, baking powder, and baking soda. Set the flour mixture aside.
In a large bowl, add the buttermilk, eggs, vanilla extract, and sugar. Mix well to combine the wet ingredients.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix the batter or you will end up with tough pancakes.
Add a pat of butter to a pan or a griddle and let it melt. Scoop some batter into the melted butter. Let it cook for 2-3 minutes over medium heat. When there are bubbles coming up through the center of the pancake, flip the pancake over.
Cook for another 3-4 minutes on the other side. Take the pancake out of the pan and serve it with maple syrup, fresh fruit, and butter.

Notes

To make your own buttermilk, mix together 2 tablespoons of vinegar or lemon juice with 2 cups of milk.
It's ok if there are a few lumps left in the batter. Overmixing will cause the pancakes to be tough.
When flipping the pancakes, do not push the pancakes down as the pancakes will be tough.
