Method

  1. Grease an 8-inch square baking dish and set it aside.

  2. Place 3 tablespoons of butter in a microwave-safe bowl or liquid measure. Microwave the butter for 30 seconds to 1 minute until it melts.

  3. In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, 3 tablespoons of sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Whisk them together.

  4. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, 2 eggs, and the melted butter.

  5. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.

  6. Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Melt a small amount of the remaining butter in the pan.

  7. Spoon 1/4 cup of batter into the skillet for each pancake. Cook until the bottom is golden brown and small bubbles appear on the top, which takes about 2 to 3 minutes. Flip the pancake and cook for another 2 minutes until golden brown.

  8. If the pancakes brown too quickly, reduce the heat to medium-low. Transfer the finished pancakes to a plate. Repeat this process until all the batter is used, adding more butter to the pan as needed. You should end up with at least 12 pancakes.

  9. In a large bowl, whisk together the half-and-half, vanilla, the remaining 5 eggs, 3 tablespoons of sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt
