Fluffy Buttermilk Pancakes with Warm Maple Butter

Ingredients

• •2 cups all-purpose flour
• •2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• •2 teaspoons baking powder
• •1 teaspoon baking soda
• •1/2 teaspoon salt
• •2 large eggs
• •2 cups buttermilk
• •1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
• •1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• •1/4 cup unsalted butter (for maple butter)
• •1/2 cup pure maple syrup

Instructions

1. 1

   In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

2. 2

   In another bowl, beat the eggs and mix in the buttermilk, melted butter, and vanilla extract.

3. 3

   Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.

4. 4

   Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or cooking spray.

5. 5

   Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes, then flip and cook until golden brown, 2-3 more minutes.

6. 6

   For the maple butter, melt 1/4 cup of butter in a small saucepan over low heat, then mix in the maple syrup and keep warm for serving.

7. 7

   Serve the pancakes warm, topped with the prepared maple butter.
