The Greatest Pancake Recipe of All Time (The GOAT)

Melt butter in a pan over low heat and set aside.

In a medium bowl, combine all-purpose flour, salt, sugar, baking soda, and baking powder.

Whisk the dry ingredients until evenly mixed.

In a separate bowl, whisk together buttermilk and eggs until well blended.

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold about 10 times.

Stream in half of the melted butter and fold gently. Add the remaining butter and fold for another 30 seconds, leaving the batter lumpy.

Preheat a griddle or non-stick pan to 350-375°F (175-190°C).

Scoop about 1/2 cup (4 oz) of batter onto the hot surface for each pancake. Cook for 2.5-3 minutes on the first side.

Flip the pancakes and cook for another 2.5-3 minutes on the second side until golden brown and cooked through.

Serve the pancakes warm, stacking them with room temperature salted butter between layers and on top, and drizzling with maple syrup.

Using a wide-rimmed glass, cut leftover pancakes into 4-inch rounds.

Toast the pancake rounds in a toaster for 2 minutes.

While the pancakes toast, cook a breakfast sausage patty in a pan. Top with two slices of American cheese to melt.

Assemble the sandwich by placing the cheesy sausage patty on one pancake round, topping with a fried egg, and then the second pancake round.

Gently press the sandwich to break the yolk, and drench with maple syrup before serving.
