Fluffy, golden, and made every Saturday morning. The recipe that taught us patience — wait for the bubbles.

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups buttermilk
2 eggs
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
0.5 tsp salt
3 tbsp melted butter
2 tbsp sugar

Instructions

1

Whisk dry ingredients in a large bowl.

2

In another bowl, whisk buttermilk, eggs, and melted butter.

3

Combine wet and dry — don't overmix, lumps are fine.

4

Heat a griddle over medium-low heat and lightly grease.

5

Pour 1/4 cup batter per pancake. Wait for bubbles before flipping.

6

Cook 2 minutes per side until golden. Grandma's note: low and slow makes them fluffy.
