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
• 1 large Egg
• 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted and cooled)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon Neutral 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 separate bowl or large measuring cup, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 3

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; some lumps are fine.

Step 4

Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with a small amount of neutral oil or butter.

Step 5

Using a 1/4-cup measuring cup, pour the pancake batter onto the heated skillet, spacing pancakes about 2 inches apart.

Step 6

Cook the pancakes until bubbles form on the surface and the edges start to look set, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed between batches.

Step 9

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