Fluffy Pancakes for Two

These fluffy pancakes are perfect for a cozy breakfast for two. Quick and easy to make, they are sure to delight your taste buds!

Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup buttermilk (or regular milk with 1 tablespoon vinegar added)
• 1 large egg
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
• Cooking spray or additional butter for the skillet

Instructions

1. Prepare the Batter:

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

2. Mix Wet Ingredients:

   • In another bowl, combine the buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract (if using). Whisk until smooth.
     

3. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:

   • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently stir with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
     

4. Preheat the Skillet:

   • Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with cooking spray or a small amount of butter.
     

5. Cook the Pancakes:

   • Once the skillet is hot, pour about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
     

6. Flip and Finish Cooking:

   • Carefully flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and keep warm while you repeat with the remaining batter.
     

7. Serve:

   • Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, fresh fruit, whipped cream, or a sprinkle of powdered sugar.
