In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons of sugar, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, and ½ teaspoon of salt.

In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups of buttermilk, 2 eggs, and ¼ cup of melted butter.

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently with a wooden spoon until just combined. The batter should be lumpy - do not overmix!

Let the batter rest for 5 minutes while you heat your griddle or skillet.

Heat a griddle or large skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with butter.

Pour ¼ cup of batter onto the griddle for each pancake.

Cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set.

Flip and cook for another 2 minutes until golden brown on both sides.

Keep finished pancakes warm in a 200°F oven while you cook the rest.

Serve hot with butter and maple syrup.
