These fluffy buttermilk pancakes are a delightful breakfast treat, perfect for a cozy morning.
Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl and whisk them until frothy.
Whisking the eggs well helps incorporate air, making the pancakes fluffier.
Add the baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar to the eggs and mix until combined.
Mixing the dry ingredients with the eggs ensures even distribution.
Pour in the buttermilk and vanilla extract, then stir gently.
Stir gently to avoid overmixing, which can make the pancakes dense.
Gradually add the flour to the mixture, stirring until just combined.
A few lumps in the batter are okay; they will dissolve during cooking.
Heat a lightly greased griddle over medium heat.
Ensure the griddle is evenly heated to avoid uneven cooking.
Pour a portion of the batter onto the griddle and cook until bubbles form on the surface.
Flip the pancake only once to maintain its fluffiness.
Flip the pancake and cook the other side until golden brown.
Press gently with the spatula to check for doneness.
Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings.
Warm maple syrup or fresh fruit make excellent toppings.
