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
- 1 large Egg
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted and cooled)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Neutral 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 separate bowl or large measuring cup, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; some lumps are fine.
Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with a small amount of neutral oil or butter.
Using a 1/4-cup measuring cup, pour the pancake batter onto the heated skillet, spacing pancakes about 2 inches apart.
Cook the pancakes until bubbles form on the surface and the edges start to look set, about 2-3 minutes.
Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed between batches.
Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, fresh fruit, or whipped cream.
