1

Measure out 1 and 1/2 cups of buttermilk in a small bowl.

2

Crack in 2 medium eggs into the same bowl as the buttermilk.

3

Add a few teaspoons of vanilla extract to the bowl.

4

Mix the wet ingredients together with a fork until fully combined.

5

In a large mixing bowl, measure out 2 cups of all-purpose flour.

6

Add 3 tablespoons of white sugar to the flour.

7

Add 1 teaspoon of baking soda and 2 teaspoons of baking powder to the flour mixture.

8

Add a good pinch of salt to the dry ingredients and mix to combine.

9

Melt 1/4 cup of butter in the microwave or over low heat on the stovetop.

10

Pour the wet ingredients and melted butter into the bowl of dry ingredients.

11

Fold the ingredients together until just combined, leaving the batter lumpy.

12

Heat a cast iron pan over medium to low heat and add about a teaspoon of butter to melt.

13

Once the butter has foamed, measure out about 1/2 cup of pancake batter and pour it into the center of the pan.

14

Cook the pancake for about 2-3 minutes on each side, checking every minute to avoid burning.

15

Flip the pancake when bubbles start to burst on the surface and the edges look set.

16

Cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes until fully cooked, checking for springiness in the center.

17

Remove the pancake from the pan and place it on a plate.

18

Repeat the process for the remaining batter, adding butter to the pan each time.

19

The recipe should yield about 8 pancakes, depending on size.
