Ingredients:
- Basic Pancake Batter:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups buttermilk
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Optional Toppings and Mix-ins:
- Fresh berries (blueberries, strawberries, raspberries)
- Chocolate chips
- Sliced bananas
- Chopped nuts (walnuts, pecans)
- Shredded coconut
- Cinnamon sugar
Instructions:
- Preheat and Prepare:
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Line a rimmed baking sheet (about 18×13 inches) with parchment paper or grease it well with butter or non-stick spray.
- Make the Pancake Batter:
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In another bowl, mix the buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; it’s okay if there are a few lumps.
- Pour and Customize:
- Pour the pancake batter into the prepared baking sheet, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
- Sprinkle your choice of toppings or mix-ins evenly over the batter.
- Bake:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the pancakes are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- For an extra golden top, you can switch to the broiler for the last 1-2 minutes, but watch carefully to avoid burning.
- Serve:
- Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.
- Cut into squares and serve warm with maple syrup, butter, whipped cream, or your favorite pancake toppings.
Enjoy your effortless and delightful sheet pan pancakes with family and friends!
