Step-by-Step Instructions

  2. In the bowl with the yolks, add buttermilk, melted unsalted butter, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth.
  3. In another bowl, sift together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually mix this into the wet ingredients until just combined.
  4. Beat the egg whites until soft peaks form, then carefully fold them into the batter without deflating.
  5. Let the batter rest for 10-15 minutes. Preheat and grease the skillet.
  6. Pour 1/3 cup of batter onto the skillet and cook until bubbles form. Flip and cook until golden brown.
  7. Stack pancakes on a plate, top with butter and syrup, and serve.
