Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour*

2 Tbsp granulated sugar

2 tsp baking powder

1 tsp baking soda

3/4 tsp salt

2 large eggs

2 1/2 cups buttermilk

4 Tbsp unsalted butter

Vegetable oil or butter for griddle

Maple syrup

Directions

If using a cast iron griddle to cook pancakes preheat it over a gas stove to about medium heat . If using an electric griddle to cook pancakes preheat it to 375 degrees. If using non-stick skillets you'll want to have at least two. Skillets will only need to preheat for a minute or two, so wait to warm them until batter is almost ready. In a large mixing bowl whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt for 20 seconds, create a well in center of mixture. Set aside. In a separate large mixing bowl, whisk together eggs. Pour in buttermilk and and melted butter and whisk to blend . Pour buttermilk mixture into flour mixture and whisk just until combined . Grease griddle with oil or butter right before adding batter and ladle about a slightly heaping 1/3 cup batter at a time into griddle. Allow to cook until golden on bottom, then flip and cook opposite side until golden. Serve warm with maple syrup.
