Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 4 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups buttermilk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup melted unsalted butter, plus more for greasing
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Generously grease a 13×9 inch baking pan with butter.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix only until just combined; do not overmix. A few lumps are fine.
  5. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan.
  6. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Remove from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 5 minutes before slicing into squares. Serve immediately with your choice of toppings.

Notes

  • For customizable toppings, set up a topping bar with fresh berries, sliced bananas, whipped cream, maple syrup, and chocolate chips.
  • This pancake bake recipe works well with half whole wheat flour for added fiber.
  • If you do not have buttermilk, mix 2 tablespoons of white vinegar or lemon juice into 2 cups of regular milk and let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
