Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat: Place a cast iron skillet or griddle over medium heat to preheat. Ensure the surface is evenly heated for consistent cooking, about 15-20 minutes.

02

Step

Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt to evenly distribute the leavening agents.

03

Step

Whisk Wet Ingredients: In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs, canola oil, and vanilla extract until well combined.

04

Step

Combine Wet and Dry: Gently pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Whisk until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are perfectly fine.

05

Step

Cook Pancakes: Lightly grease the preheated skillet or griddle with canola oil. Pour batter onto the hot surface – about 1/4 cup for small pancakes, 1/3 cup for medium pancakes, or 1/2 cup for large pancakes. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges appear set (approximately 2-3 minutes).

06

Step

Flip and Finish: Flip the pancakes and cook until golden brown on the second side (about 2 minutes more).

07

Step

Serve: Serve immediately with your favorite toppings (butter, syrup, fresh fruit, whipped cream, etc.) or keep warm in a low oven until ready to serve.

For extra fluffy pancakes, let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes before cooking.
If you don't have buttermilk, you can make a quick substitute by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or white vinegar to a liquid measuring cup, then filling the rest of the way to the 4-cup mark with milk. Let stand for 5 minutes before using.
To freeze pancakes, let them cool completely, then arrange them in a single layer on a baking sheet. Freeze for 1-2 hours, or until solid. Transfer the frozen pancakes to a freezer bag or container and store for up to 2 months. Reheat in the toaster, microwave, or oven.
