Ingredients

2 and 1/4 cups (270g) all-purpose flour
1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
1 and 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg optional, but recommended
2 large eggs room temperature
2 cups (454ml) full-fat buttermilk
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
Maple syrup and butter, for serving

Instructions

In a large bowl add the flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg; whisk well to combine.
In a separate bowl add the eggs and lightly beat them with a whisk. Add in the buttermilk and vanilla and beat until well combined. Stir the buttermilk mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring just until everything is combined.
Pour batter by 1/3 cupfuls onto a buttered hot pan or griddle, adding only a few at a time so that they do not blend together.
Cook for about 2 minutes before flipping them over, or until small bubbles form on top. Cook on the second side until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes. Repeat with all pancake batter.
Serve pancakes warm, with syrup. See notes for freezing options.

Notes

To freeze: place cooled pancakes between layers of waxed paper, then place them in a freezer-safe plastic bag, squeezing out any excess air before sealing the bag and placing it in the freezer. Pancakes will keep in the freezer for 2 months. To reheat, heat your oven to 375 degrees (F). Place the pancakes in a single layer on a large baking pan; cover with tinfoil and heat in a preheated oven for 6-8 minutes, or until warm. You may also microwave 3-4 pancakes at a time for about 40 seconds, or until heated through.
