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 and cooled
- 1 unit large egg
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- cooking spray or butter for greasing the skillet
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 medium bowl, mix the buttermilk, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth and well blended.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients, stirring gently with a spoon or spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; some small lumps are fine.
Let the pancake batter rest for about 5 minutes to allow the ingredients to fully hydrate and the baking powder to activate.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with cooking spray or a small amount of butter.
Using a ladle or measuring cup, pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Space them apart to allow for spreading.
Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface of the pancakes and the edges start to look set.
Flip the pancakes carefully with a spatula and cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes, or until golden brown on both sides.
Transfer the cooked pancakes to a warm plate and cover loosely with a clean kitchen towel or foil to keep warm while cooking the remaining batter.
Serve the pancakes immediately with your choice of toppings such as syrup, fresh berries, whipped cream, or a pat of butter.
