Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose unbleached flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda

Instructions
- Whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda & sugar or stevia in a medium bowl to combine.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, vanilla extract, eggs, lemon zest and melted butter.
- Add flour mixture to the buttermilk mixture and mix until thoroughly combined.
- Allow the batter to sit for about 5 minutes. It should be fluffy and a little thick (not runny or watery). If the batter is too thick, you can add a little more buttermilk.
- Heat a large skillet or griddle and grease with extra butter.
- I use one medium-large soup ladle full of batter for each pancake. Cook each pancake until bubbles begin to appear – then flip and cook the other side until golden brown.
Enjoy!
