Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 1.25 cups Buttermilk
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
- 1 unit Large egg
- 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
- Nonstick cooking spray or butter, for greasing the pan
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients and gently fold them together using a spatula. Be careful not to overmix; small lumps in the batter are fine.
Let the batter rest for 5-7 minutes. This step helps ensure your pancakes will be light and fluffy.
Preheat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease it with nonstick cooking spray or a small amount of butter.
Once the pan is hot, pour 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the skillet, spacing them apart to allow for spreading.
Cook the pancakes for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip them carefully using a spatula and cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown.
Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed between batches.
Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings, such as butter, maple syrup, fresh fruit, or whipped cream.
