Ingredients

  • 140g unsalted butter

  • 600g all-purpose flour

  • 12g kosher salt

  • 60g granulated sugar

  • 2g baking soda

  • 25g baking powder

  • 900g buttermilk

  • 4 large eggs

Directions

  • Place butter into a pan over low heat and melt. Set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, combine flour, salt, sugar, baking soda, and baking powder. Whisk the dry ingredients until the evenly mixed throughout.
  • In a second bowl, combine buttermilk and eggs. Whisk until well blended. If you can’t find buttermilk, combine 500 grams (2 cups) of sour cream with 400 grams (1 2/3 cups) of water as a substitute.
  • Pour the buttermilk mixture into the dry ingredients and carefully fold to combine. Start with 10 gentle stirs.
  • Stream in half of the melted butter and fold gently. Then, add the remaining butter and fold for another 30 seconds. Be careful not to overmix the batter; it should remain lumpy.
  • Heat a griddle or non-stick pan to 350-375°F (175-190°C). Use a 4-ounce scoop or 1/2 cup of batter per pancake.
  • Drop the batter onto the preheated griddle or pan with a 4oz scoop or about a ½ cup measure and smooth it out into a round shape.
  • Cook for 2-3 minutes on the first side until golden brown. Flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes on the second side.
  • To check if the pancakes are done, give them a quick poke. If they are firm and do not cave in, they are ready. If they cave in, continue cooking.
  • Serve the pancakes immediately, or keep them warm in a low oven if cooking multiple batches.
