Let’s Make it Together
Mix Your Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined. This step ensures even distribution of leavening agents.
Combine Wet Ingredients Separately: In another bowl, whisk together buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth. This mixture brings all those fabulous flavors together.
Combine Everything Gently: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined; it’s okay if there are a few lumps! Overmixing can lead to dense pancakes.
Preheat Your Griddle or Skillet: Heat your non-stick skillet over medium heat and add butter until it melts and sizzles lightly. You want that golden-brown crust on your pancakes!
Scoop & Cook Those Pancakes!: Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on top (about 3-4 minutes), then flip carefully to brown both sides.
Syrup & Serve!: Once cooked through and golden brown on both sides, transfer pancakes to plates and serve with warm syrup or fresh fruits—whatever tickles your fancy!
Enjoy these delightful hallelujah buttermilk pancakes at any time—their fluffy nature is sure to bring joy to every bite!
