Ree’s family loves pancakes, and since she posted her original recipe many years ago she has tweaked, adjusted and refined it. This is an updated version, which calls for more readily stocked all-purpose flour rather than cake flour, and uses a combination of milk and buttermilk for a best-of-both-worlds texture and flavor. Try these soon…they are tremendous!

Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 4 generous tablespoons sugar
- 1 heaping tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 1/4 cups whole milk, plus more for thinning
- 3/4 cup buttermilk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- 4 tablespoons salted butter, melted, plus additional for cooking and serving
- Pancake syrup, warmed, for serving
Instructions
- Mix the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, buttermilk, vanilla and egg. Continue whisking briskly while drizzling in the melted butter.
- Using a rubber spatula, start gently stirring the dry ingredients while slowly pouring in the wet ingredients. Switch to folding once all the wet ingredients have been added, to avoid overworking the batter. Continue folding until everything is combined. (The batter should still be lumpy; do not try to stir the lumps out.)
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and allow the batter to rest on the counter for 45 minutes to 1 hour.
- Heat a griddle or skillet over medium heat. Smear with butter and drop 1/3-cup helpings of the batter onto the griddle.
- Let cook until bubbles form on the surface, 2 to 3 minutes, then flip and cook until nicely golden, another 1 to 1 1/2 minutes.
- Serve with an obscene amount of butter and warm syrup.

Reviews
These were very good
Unanimously the best pancakes we’ve had! Didn’t have buttermilk so I thinned out sour cream with some milk, hack I looked up:) Next time will try with buttermilk. But these were fabulous! And I’m not even a big pancake person!
