Ingredients

• 1.25 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 1.25 cups buttermilk
• 1 large egg
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0 as needed for cooking nonstick cooking spray or butter

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Step 2

In a separate medium bowl, combine the buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Whisk until well blended.

Step 3

Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula. Be careful not to overmix; lumps are okay.

Step 4

Let the batter rest for 5 minutes to allow the ingredients to properly hydrate and for the leavening agents to do their work.

Step 5

Heat a large nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with nonstick spray or a small amount of butter.

Step 6

Pour 1/4 cup of pancake batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Use the back of a spoon to slightly spread the batter into a circle if needed.

Step 7

Cook the pancakes for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface of the batter and the edges start to look set. Flip and cook the other side for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown.

Step 8

Remove the pancakes from the skillet and keep them warm by placing them on a plate under aluminum foil or in a warm oven.

Step 9

Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet lightly between batches if necessary.

Step 10

Serve the pancakes warm with butter, syrup, or your favorite toppings. Enjoy!
