Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 2 cups buttermilk
- 0.5 cups whole milk
- 1 unit large egg
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, and salt. Whisk together until evenly blended.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, whole milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Heat a griddle or large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with butter or non-stick spray.
Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, pour the pancake batter onto the hot griddle to form individual pancakes, spacing them apart to avoid spreading.
Cook the pancakes for 2-3 minutes, or until small bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip gently with a spatula and cook for an additional 2 minutes on the other side, until golden brown.
Transfer the cooked pancakes to a warm plate and cover loosely with foil. Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the griddle as needed between batches.
Serve the pancakes warm with butter, maple syrup, or your favorite toppings. Enjoy!
