Even with a large skillet or griddle, it's almost impossible to serve everyone a warm short stack at once. Our solution is these easy sheet pan pancakes. To achieve pancake's signature golden brown color, we brushed with melted butter after baking and popped it under the broiler for a finishing touch.

Ingredients Nonstick cooking spray 2 cups buttermilk 2 large eggs, beaten 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) melted unsalted butter, divided 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled ¼ cup granulated sugar 2 teaspoons baking powder 1 teaspoon baking soda 1 teaspoon kosher salt Directions Preheat oven to 425ºF. Line an 11-by-17-inch rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper, coat the parchment and sides of the pan with nonstick cooking spray, and then set aside. Whisk buttermilk, eggs, vanilla, and 2 tablespoons melted butter in a medium bowl until combined. In a separate large bowl, whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add the milk-egg mixture and stir until just combined. (Do not overmix.) Scrape batter into the prepared baking sheet, smoothing into an even layer with a spatula. Bake until the pancake is lightly golden and springs back in the center when poked, 11 to 13 minutes. Remove from the oven and heat the broiler to high. Brush the remaining 2 tablespoons melted butter onto the pancake. Broil until golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes, rotating halfway. Cut into 12 slices and serve warm.
