Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 2 cups buttermilk
- ¼ cup melted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- Butter or cooking oil for the griddle
- Pure Vermont maple syrup for serving
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Batter
In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, buttermilk, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
Slowly add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and gently mix until combined. Do not overmix — a few small lumps help keep pancakes light and fluffy.
Step 2: Heat Your Griddle
Preheat your Morning Star griddle to the ideal pancake cooking temperature. The precision temperature control ensures even heating for consistent results.
Lightly grease the surface with butter or cooking oil.
Step 3: Cook the Pancakes
Pour approximately ¼ cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake.
Cook until bubbles appear on the surface and the edges begin to set, about 2–3 minutes. Flip and cook for another 1–2 minutes until golden brown.
Step 4: Serve & Enjoy
Stack your pancakes high and serve warm with a generous drizzle of pure Vermont maple syrup. Add fresh berries, whipped cream, or a small pat of butter for an extra special touch.
Morning Star Breakfast Tip
For the fluffiest pancakes, allow your batter to rest for 5–10 minutes before cooking. This gives the ingredients time to blend and creates an even softer texture.
