Prepare the Batter
In a large batter bowl, stir together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
Create a well in the center of the flour mixture and add 2 cups buttermilk, 1/3 cup whole milk, 2 large eggs, and 3 tablespoons butter (melted). Gently stir together until just combined. (Do not over mix.)
Cook the Pancakes
Heat a griddle or large skillet over medium heat. (Flick a bit of water across the surface and if it sizzles, it's ready.)
If desired, slide the end of a butter stick in the center of the griddle, or use a cooking spray for easy release of the pancakes.
Using about 1/3 cup per pancake, cook 2-3 pancakes at a time. Turn over when bubbles appear in the center and cook until golden on the other side. Transfer cooked pancakes to a baking sheet and keep warm in the oven until ready to serve. Repeat with remaining batter.
Serve hot with warm maple syrup. This recipe will make 8-10 pancakes, depending on how big they are.
