- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 1/4 cups buttermilk
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Directions
Step 1 –Whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl.
Step 2 –Whisk the eggs, buttermilk, and butter in a medium bowl.
Step 3 –Stir the wet ingredients mixture into the dry ingredients mixture until just combined with some lumps remaining.

Step 9 –Flip the pancakes and cook until cooked through and the other side is golden brown, about 2 minutes.
Step 10 –Stack the pancakes to keep them warm and serve with maple syrup.
