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
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil or butter (for greasing the pan)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 3

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. The batter should be slightly lumpy—do not overmix.

Step 4

Heat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with vegetable oil or butter.

Step 5

Using a 1/4-cup measure, pour the batter onto the skillet or griddle to form each pancake.

Step 6

Cook the pancakes for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set.

Step 7

Flip the pancakes with a spatula and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 8

Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate and keep warm while you repeat with the remaining batter.

Step 9

Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings, such as syrup, fresh fruit, or whipped cream.
