Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 1.25 cups buttermilk
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted and slightly cooled)
- 1 count large egg
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon neutral cooking oil or additional butter (for the skillet)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk the buttermilk, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until combined. Some lumps are okay—do not overmix the batter.
Heat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease it with a small amount of butter or cooking oil spread evenly across the surface.
Using a 1/4-cup measuring cup, scoop the batter and pour it onto the skillet to form pancakes. Leave space between each pancake to allow them to spread slightly.
Cook the pancakes for 2-3 minutes, until bubbles begin to appear on the surface and the edges look set. Flip each pancake and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate and cover with a clean kitchen towel or aluminum foil to keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter.
Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings, such as maple syrup, fresh berries, sliced bananas, whipped cream, or a dusting of powdered sugar.
