Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp fine salt
  • 2 cups buttermilk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3 tbsp melted butter, plus more for the pan
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Mix the dry ingredients Whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl.
  2. Mix the wet ingredients In another bowl, whisk the buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla until smooth.
  3. Combine gently Pour the wet mixture into the dry. Stir until just combined; a few lumps are fine. Rest the batter 5 minutes.
