Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder (low sodium or sodium-free)
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 Large egg
- 1 cup Buttermilk
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 as needed Non-stick cooking spray or additional unsalted butter for greasing
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and sugar until well combined.
In a separate bowl, beat the egg and then add the buttermilk, melted unsalted butter, and vanilla extract. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and uniform.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently fold the mixture together using a spatula just until combined. Be careful not to overmix; it’s okay if there are a few lumps.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with non-stick cooking spray or a small amount of unsalted butter.
Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, pour batter onto the skillet for each hotcake. Cook until you see bubbles form on the surface and the edges start to look set, about 2-3 minutes.
Gently flip each hotcake with a spatula and cook the other side until golden brown, about 2 minutes more.
Transfer the hotcakes to a plate and cover with a clean kitchen towel to keep warm while you cook the remaining batter.
Serve the hotcakes warm with your choice of toppings, such as fresh fruit, a dollop of yogurt, or a drizzle of maple syrup.
