For extra fluffy pancakes, let the batter rest for 10-15 minutes before cooking. This allows the gluten to relax, resulting in a more tender texture. Feel free to experiment with additions! A handful of fresh blueberries, a sprinkle of chocolate chips, or a dash of cinnamon can add a delightful twist to this classic recipe. Serve immediately with a generous pat of butter and a drizzle of pure maple syrup for the ultimate pancake experience.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat a griddle to medium heat according to manufacturer's instructions. (Approximately 5 minutes)
02
StepIn a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add the buttermilk, eggs, and melted butter. Stir gently until just combined; a few small lumps are perfectly acceptable. Avoid overmixing, as this will result in tough pancakes. (Approximately 3 minutes)
03
StepLightly grease the preheated griddle by pouring oil on a paper towel; spread over griddle to lightly grease. Test the griddle's temperature by splashing a few drops of water onto the surface; the water should dance and skitter across the surface, not immediately steam away. (Approximately 2 minutes)
04
StepPour 1/4 to 1/3 cupfuls of batter onto the prepared griddle for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges appear set and slightly dry, about 3 to 5 minutes. Flip the pancakes and cook until golden brown on the other side, approximately 2 minutes more. (Approximately 7 minutes per batch)
05
StepRepeat with the remaining batter, keeping the cooked pancakes warm in a low oven if desired. (Varies based on batter remaining)
