Ingredients

flour
baking powder
baking soda
salt
sugar
buttermilk
eggs
vanilla extract
melted butter
toppings of choice (berries, chocolate chips, nuts, or syrup)

Directions

Preheat the Oven – Set your oven to 425°F (218°C) and lightly grease a sheet pan with butter or non-stick spray.
Prepare the Batter – In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar. In a separate bowl, mix the buttermilk, eggs, vanilla extract, and melted butter until well combined.
Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients – Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are fine.
Pour into the Sheet Pan – Evenly spread the pancake batter into the prepared sheet pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Add Toppings – Sprinkle your choice of toppings evenly over the batter.
Bake – Place the sheet pan in the preheated oven and bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Slice and Serve – Let the pancake cool for a few minutes before cutting it into squares or rectangles. Serve warm with syrup or additional toppings.

Variations

Berry Delight: Add fresh or frozen blueberries, raspberries, or sliced strawberries.
Chocolate Lovers: Sprinkle chocolate chips into the batter for a sweet treat.
Nutty Crunch: Add chopped walnuts, pecans, or almonds for extra texture.
Cinnamon Swirl: Swirl cinnamon sugar into the batter for a cinnamon roll-inspired pancake.
Protein Boost: Mix in a scoop of protein powder or use Greek yogurt instead of buttermilk.
