Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 3 tablespoons sugar
• 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
• 3 cups buttermilk
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, plus 1/2 teaspoon for griddle

Directions

1. Heat griddle to 375 degrees.

2. Whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar in a medium bowl.

3. Add eggs, buttermilk, and 4 tablespoons butter; whisk to combine.

4. Batter should have small to medium lumps.

5. Heat oven to 175 degrees.

6. Test griddle by sprinkling a few drops of water on it. If water bounces and spatters off griddle, it is hot enough.

7. Using a pastry brush, brush remaining 1/2 teaspoon of butter or reserved bacon fat onto griddle.

8. Wipe off excess.

9. Using a 4-ounce ladle, about 1/2 cup, pour pancake batter, in pools 2 inches away from one other.

10. When pancakes have bubbles on top and are slightly dry around edges, about 2 1/2 minutes, flip over.

11. Cook until golden on bottom, about 1 minute.

12. Repeat with remaining batter, keeping finished pancakes on a heatproof plate in oven.

13. Serve warm.
