- 1 ½ cup (340 g) buttermilk
- ¼ cup unsalted butter
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda

- After 8 hours, sprinkle the batter with baking powder and baking soda. Stir well to combine. If needed, add 1 to 2 tablespoons of milk to thin out the batter.2 teaspoons baking powder½ teaspoon baking soda
- Heat a skillet or griddle over low-medium heat. Add a teaspoon or two of butter between every two to three pancakes. Allow the butter to melt, then add ¼ to ⅓ cup of the batter.
- Cook the batter for 2 to 3 minutes. The pancake will have little bubbles over the surface and begin to crisp around the edges when it’s ready to flip. Use a spatula to flip the pancake, then cook an additional 2 to 3 minutes on the opposite side. Repeat with the remaining batter.
- Serve hot with fresh fruit and pure maple syrup. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
