# What You'll Need:

→ Dry Ingredients

01 - 2 cups all-purpose flour
02 - 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
03 - 2 teaspoons baking powder
04 - ½ teaspoon baking soda
05 - ½ teaspoon salt

→ Wet Ingredients

06 - 2 cups buttermilk, well shaken
07 - 2 large eggs
08 - ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
09 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

→ For Cooking

10 - Additional butter or neutral oil, for greasing the skillet

# How to Make It:

01 - In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly mixed.
02 - In a separate bowl, whisk buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well blended.

06 - Flip pancakes and cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes, until golden and cooked through.
07 - Serve immediately with preferred toppings such as maple syrup, fresh berries, or whipped cream.
