Time 45m

Yield 8 large flapjacks, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups flour
2 tablespoons sugar
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups buttermilk
4 teaspoons melted butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 eggs, beaten
8 tablespoons butter, for cooking

Steps:

Place the first five (dry) ingredients in a large bowl and whisk to combine.
In a second bowl, whisk together the next four (wet) ingredients.
Pour the buttermilk mixture into the flour mixture and whisk together just until combined to make a thick batter. (Do not overmix to get a more tender flapjack.).
Heat an 8" nonstick skillet over medium heat.
Add 1 tbsp butter and heat until the butter's foam subsides.
Ladle about 1/2 cup of batter into the skillet.
Cook the flapjack until little bubbles form on the top of the surface and the bottom is golden brown. Flip and cook until the other side is golden brown (about 5 minutes total cook time for each flapjack).
Transfer to a large platter and keep warm.
Repeat the process with an additional tbsp butter in the pan until 8 flapjacks have been made. To save time, you can have two skillets going at the same time.
Serve hot with additional butter and maple syrup. A dusting of confectioners sugar is a nice touch, too.
