Basic Buttermilk Pancakes

Directions

1. 1
   In a large measuring cup or bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
2. 2
   In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and buttermilk.
3. 3
   Add the buttermilk mixture to the flour mixture and whisk until fully incorporated (a few small lumps are fine).
4. 4
   Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-low heat.
5. 5
   Check the heat by sprinkling the skillet with water when the water bubbles and evaporates immediately, pour 3 scant 1/4 cups of batter into the skillet.
6. 6
   Cook the pancakes until bubbles begin to appear around the edges and in the center, about 1 to 2 minutes.
7. 7
   Using a spatula, peek under the pancakes to check if they are golden brown, then carefully flip them.
8. 8
   Cook the pancakes 1 minute more, peeking to make sure the underside is golden brown.
9. 9
   Transfer them to a baking sheet and cover loosely with foil to keep warm.
10. 10
    Repeat with remaining batter (if your pancakes stick, wipe the skillet with 1 teaspoon canola oil before cooking the next batch).
