Ingredients:
- 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
- 3 tbsp (36g) granulated sugar
- 2 tsp (10g) baking powder
- 1 tsp (5g) baking soda
- ½ tsp (3g) fine sea salt
- 2 cups (480ml) buttermilk
- 2 large eggs
- 4 tbsp (56g) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tsp (5ml) pure vanilla extract
- Unsalted butter or neutral oil, as needed for griddle
Instructions:
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and fine sea salt until no clumps remain.
- In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until light, then whisk in the buttermilk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until cohesive.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and fold gently with a spatula just until the flour streaks disappear, leaving small lumps for maximum lift.
- Preheat the Blackstone griddle on medium-low to reach a surface temperature of 350°F to 375°F (175°C-190°C).
- Apply a thin layer of butter or neutral oil across the griddle surface to create a shimmering film.
- Pour 1/4 cup (60ml) portions of batter onto the griddle, leaving 2 inches of space between each pancake.
- Cook for 2-3 minutes until the edges look set and bubbles on the surface form and stay open.
- Flip the pancakes in one clean motion and cook for another 1-2 minutes until both sides are mahogany-gold.
