Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
- 1 large Egg
- 1 cup Buttermilk
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and granulated sugar. Whisk well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
In a separate large mixing bowl, whisk together the egg, buttermilk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with a small amount of oil or non-stick cooking spray.
Using a 1/4-cup measuring cup, pour the batter onto the preheated surface to form evenly sized pancakes. Leave enough space between the pancakes for them to spread slightly.
Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges start to look set. Flip the pancakes carefully with a spatula and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the pancakes from the skillet and keep warm by placing them on a plate covered with a clean towel or keeping them in a low-temperature oven.
Repeat the process with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed between batches.
Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings such as butter, maple syrup, whipped cream, or fresh fruit.
