Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder

- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 cups buttermilk (shake well before measuring)
- 2 large eggs
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla until smooth.
