Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 large Egg
- 1.25 cups Buttermilk
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 as needed Non-stick cooking spray or butter
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and granulated sugar.
In a separate medium bowl, beat the egg, then whisk in the buttermilk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients. Gently stir until just combined. Avoid overmixing; a few lumps are fine.
Let the batter rest for 5 minutes. This resting step helps create extra fluffy pancakes.
Heat a griddle or large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease with non-stick cooking spray or a small amount of butter.
Scoop 1/4 cup of batter onto the heated surface for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set (about 2-3 minutes).
Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through. Adjust heat as needed to prevent burning.
Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the griddle as necessary between batches.
Serve warm with your favorite toppings, such as maple syrup, fresh fruits, or a dollop of whipped cream.
