Ingredients

• 2 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoon granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 cup buttermilk
• 2 eggs
• 3 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
• 0.5 tablespoon butter
• maple syrup

Steps

1. Preheat your griddle or large skillet over medium heat for 2 minutes until evenly heated.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs, and melted butter until well combined.
4. Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet ingredients. Gently fold together with a rubber spatula just until combined—do not overmix. The batter should be slightly lumpy; overmixing will result in tough pancakes.
5. Lightly butter the preheated griddle. For each pancake, pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the griddle, spacing them 2 inches apart.
6. Cook the first batch of pancakes for 2-3 minutes until the tops are covered with bubbles and the bottoms are golden brown.
7. Flip each pancake carefully with a spatula and cook for another 1-2 minutes until the second side is light golden brown.
8. Transfer the cooked pancakes to a warm plate. Repeat with remaining batter, lightly buttering the griddle between batches as needed.
9. Serve the warm pancakes immediately with butter and warm maple syrup, along with your choice of toppings such as fresh berries, whipped cream, or pecans.
