Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 1.25 cups buttermilk
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil or butter (for greasing the pan)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. The batter should be slightly lumpy—do not overmix.
Heat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with vegetable oil or butter.
Using a 1/4-cup measure, pour the batter onto the skillet or griddle to form each pancake.
Cook the pancakes for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set.
Flip the pancakes with a spatula and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate and keep warm while you repeat with the remaining batter.
Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings, such as syrup, fresh fruit, or whipped cream.
