11 steps
What you need
- 250 g (2 cups) all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp fine salt

Method
Restated from the original video
- 1
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and sugar.
- 2
In a second bowl, beat the buttermilk and eggs until smooth.
- 3
Pour the buttermilk mixture into the dry ingredients and stir with a spatula a few times.
- 4
Add the melted butter and fold gently until no dry flour is visible. Leave the lumps; overmixing makes flat, tough pancakes.
- 5
Let the batter rest for 5 min while the pan heats. It will thicken and turn slightly bubbly.
- 6
Heat a large nonstick frying pan or griddle over medium heat, then wipe it with a thin film of butter.
- 7
Pour in about 60 ml (1/4 cup) of batter per pancake, leaving space between them.
- 8
Cook until bubbles break on the surface and the edges look dry, 2-3 min.
- 9
Flip and cook until the second side is golden and the centre springs back when pressed, 1-2 min.
- 10
Keep the cooked pancakes warm on a plate under a clean towel. Repeat with the rest of the batter, adding a little butter to the pan between batches.
- 11
Serve in stacks with a pat of butter and maple syrup.
