Classic Buttermilk Pancakes

Instructions

1. 1

   In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

2. 2

   In another bowl, beat the eggs and then whisk in the milk.

3. 3

   Melt the butter and let it cool slightly, then add it to the milk and egg mixture.

4. 4

   Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.

5. 5

   Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or oil.

6. 6

   Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.

7. 7

   Flip the pancakes and cook until the other side is golden brown, about 2 minutes more.

8. 8

   Serve the pancakes warm with syrup drizzled on top.
