Ingredients
- 1.25 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Buttermilk
- 0.25 cup Whole milk
- 1 piece Large egg
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted and slightly cooled)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 as needed Nonstick cooking spray
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
Step 2
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, whole milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Step 3
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, and gently stir with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; some lumps in the batter are okay.
Step 4
Let the batter rest for 5 minutes to allow the ingredients to fully hydrate and the baking powder to activate.
Step 5
Preheat a large nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with nonstick cooking spray.
Step 6
Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, pour portions of batter onto the skillet to form pancakes. Cook 2-3 pancakes at a time to avoid overcrowding.
Step 7
Cook the pancakes for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges appear set. Flip the pancakes carefully using a spatula and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown on both sides.
Step 8
Remove the cooked pancakes from the skillet and keep them warm by covering with foil or placing in a low-temperature oven (200°F). Repeat with the remaining batter.
Step 9
Serve the pancakes warm with butter, syrup, and any desired toppings such as fresh fruit, whipped cream, or chocolate chips. Enjoy!
