COWBOY BUTTERMILK PANCAKES
Ingredients
Dry:
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• ½ teaspoon baking soda
• ½ teaspoon salt
• Optional: 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Wet:
• 2 large eggs
• 2 cups buttermilk
• ¼ cup melted butter
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions
1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
2. In a separate bowl, mix the eggs, buttermilk, melted butter, and vanilla until well combined.
3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and stir until just combined. A few lumps are totally fine—overmixing leads to tough pancakes.
4. Heat a griddle or cast iron skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with butter, oil, or even bacon grease for extra cowboy flavour.
5. Scoop ⅓ cup of batter per pancake onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form and the edges look set (about 2–3 minutes), then flip and cook for another 1–2 minutes.
