In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, ¼ cup of sugar, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, 2 teaspoons of baking soda, and 1 teaspoon of kosher salt. Ensure the dry ingredients are well incorporated. Set aside.

In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together 2 cups of milk, 2 eggs, and add 2 teaspoons of lemon juice for a hint of brightness to your pancakes.

Pour the liquid ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir the mixture together until well combined, creating a smooth batter.

Allow the batter to rest for 20 to 30 minutes. During this time, the batter will start to develop a fluffy texture.

Preheat a skillet or griddle over medium-high heat until hot. If using an electric griddle, set it to 350°F.

Melt 1 stick of unsalted butter, and add it to the batter just before cooking. Stir it in for an extra touch of richness.

Pour ¼ cup of batter for each pancake onto the hot skillet or griddle.

Cook each pancake for about 2 minutes on each side or until golden brown, ensuring they are fully cooked through.

Stack the pancakes on a plate and serve them warm.

Customize your pancakes with your favorite toppings like maple syrup, fresh fruits, or a dollop of whipped cream.
