Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
  • 1 cup buttermilk (or regular milk with a splash of vinegar)
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk until airy and light.
  2. In another bowl, mix together the buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until frothy.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined, being careful not to over-mix.
Cooking
  1. Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Optionally, add a bit of butter or oil.
  2. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the skillet. Watch for bubbles to form.
  3. Flip the pancakes after 2-3 minutes, cooking for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
  4. Stack the pancakes and serve them with a pat of butter, syrup, and optional toppings like berries or whipped cream.

Notes

You can make the batter the night before and store it in the fridge. Experiment with add-ins like chocolate chips or bananas.
