Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 1.25 cups buttermilk
- 1 unit large egg
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons cooking oil or butter (for greasing the pan)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt until evenly combined. Set aside.
In a separate bowl, beat the egg lightly, then add the buttermilk, honey, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Whisk together until smooth and well blended.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula or wooden spoon. Mix until just combined; small lumps in the batter are fine. Avoid overmixing to ensure fluffy pancakes.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with cooking oil or butter.
Using a 1/4-cup measuring cup, pour batter onto the skillet for each pancake, leaving space between them to spread.
Cook the pancakes until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip the pancakes and cook the other side until golden brown and cooked through, another 2 minutes.
Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate and keep warm while repeating with the remaining batter, greasing the pan as needed.
Serve the Henny Penny Pancakes warm, drizzled with additional honey or syrup, and enjoy with your favorite toppings like fresh fruit, whipped cream, or nuts.
