Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons melted butter (plus more for cooking)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt until evenly combined.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, large egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth and well blended.
- Combine Wet and Dry: Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring just until combined. It’s okay if the batter is slightly lumpy. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes to improve fluffiness.
- Heat Skillet: Preheat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with melted butter to prevent sticking.
- Cook Pancakes: Pour about ¼ cup of batter for each pancake onto the hot skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges start to set, about 2 to 3 minutes. Flip the pancakes and cook the other side for an additional 1 to 2 minutes, until golden and cooked through.
- Serve: Serve the pancakes warm with your choice of toppings such as maple syrup, fresh fruit, or extra butter.
Notes
- For fluffier pancakes, do not overmix the batter; lumps are fine.
- Resting the batter for 5 minutes enhances the texture by allowing the leavening agents to activate.
- Use a nonstick skillet or well-seasoned griddle for even cooking and easy flipping.
- Adjust the heat if pancakes brown too quickly or not fast enough.
- Substitute milk and vinegar for buttermilk if needed (1 cup milk + 1 tablespoon vinegar, let sit 5 minutes).
