Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons melted butter (plus extra for the pan)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
- Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
- Whisk the Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Combine Wet and Dry: Gently pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir just until combined.
- Preheat the Pan: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add a small amount of butter to coat the surface.
- Cook the Pancakes: Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, pour batter onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
- Keep Warm: Transfer cooked pancakes to a plate in a warm oven while you finish cooking the rest of the batter.
Notes
Consider adding fruits or chocolate chips for a fun twist. Monitor heat to avoid over-browning.
