Tip: The secret to making these amazing pancakes is the lumpy batter. So whatever you do, do not overmix the batter! To cook the pancakes, use a heavy large griddle. A very low-sided griddle makes sliding your spatula underneath the pancakes and turning them over easy. The griddle’s large surface area allows you to cook a large batch of pancakes each time.
Ingredients:
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups buttermilk
- 2 cups sour cream
- 2 large eggs
- 4 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- Additional unsalted butter
- Pure maple syrup, warm
Directions:
Whisk first 5 ingredients in a large bowl. Whisk buttermilk, sour cream, eggs, and vanilla in another large bowl. Add to dry ingredients. Stir until batter is just blended but still lumpy (do not overmix).
Melt 1/2 tablespoon butter on griddle over medium heat. Pour batter by 1/3 cupfuls onto the griddle, spacing 2 inches apart. Cook until bubbles breaks on the surface, about 3 minutes. Turn pancakes over. Cook until bottoms are golden, 3 minutes. Transfer to plates. Repeat with remaining batter, adding butter to skillet as needed.
Serve pancakes immediately with butter and warm maple syrup.
