In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and bicarbonate powder. Whisk the flour, sugar and bicarbonate powder together.
Make a hole in the centre of the flour in the bowl. Pour in the melted butter, vanilla extract, milk, eggs and buttermilk. Whisk the pancake batter until smooth. The batter should be smooth and slightly thick. Do not overmix the pancake batter to prevent ruining the texture
Allow the pancake batter to sit for 5-10 minutes in the fridge
Heat a large deep-bottomed pan or griddle over a higher heat first
.Lower the heat to medium heat and then lightly grease with butter or olive oil. Pour 2-3 tbsp of batter into the pan for each pancake ensuring there’s space between each pancake
Cook the pancakes for 2-3 minutes or until bubbles/holes cover the edges and top of the pancakes before flipping. Cook the other side of the pancakes until golden brown
Repeat these steps with the rest of the batter
Serve with butter, chocolate sauce or fruit
