Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 tsp baking powder, 1/2 tsp baking soda, 1/2 tsp salt, and 2 tbsp granulated sugar.
  2. Step 2: In a separate bowl, beat 2 large eggs with 2 cups buttermilk and 4 tbsp melted unsalted butter until smooth. Stir in 1 tbsp finely chopped fresh thyme leaves.
  3. Step 3: Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and mix gently until just combined; batter should be slightly lumpy.
  4. Step 4: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter. Pour 1/4 cup batter per pancake onto skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set.
  5. Step 5: Flip pancakes and cook another 2 minutes until golden and cooked through. Keep warm.
  6. Step 6: To make maple butter, beat 1/2 cup softened unsalted butter with 1/4 cup maple syrup until smooth and fluffy. Serve pancakes topped with a dollop of maple butter and extra maple syrup if desired.
