Buttermilk Pancakes

• 250g plain flour
• 2 tbsp sugar
• 2 tsp baking powder
• ½ tsp bicarbonate of soda
• ½ tsp salt
• 480ml buttermilk
• 2 eggs
• 50g butter, melted, plus extra for the pan
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

Whisk the dry ingredients in one bowl and the wet in another. Stir together until just combined: lumps are good, and overmixing makes them tough.

Let it rest while the raising agents get to work and the pan heats over medium.

Butter the pan and ladle in 60ml per pancake. Cook until bubbles pop on the surface and the edges look set.

Flip and cook until golden underneath.

Keep the pancakes warm in a low oven while you cook the rest.
