Adapted from the Buttermilk Pancakes recipe.in The Joy.of Cooking (2000).

Ingredients

• 1½ cups all-purpose flour
• 3 tbsp granulated sugar
• 1½ tsp baking powder
• ½ tsp baking soda
• ½ tsp salt
• 1½ cup buttermilk
• ½ cup whole milk or half & half
• 2 large eggs
• 4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
• 1/tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

Note: Use a wide 2 quart measure for the batter to pour directly on the griddle for less mess.

Combine dry ingredients in a 2 quart bowl, and whisk to combine.

Combine wet ingredients in a 20 oz bowl.

Preheat griddle to 350°F.

When griddle is hot, pour wet ingredients over dry, and combine with a whisk until just combined. Leave some pea-sized lumps, and do not overwork the batter.

Pour ⅔ cup portions onto griddle in batches, and flip when bubbles start to form. Turn 2 to 3 times until cake is firm and airy.
