These fluffy pancakes are perfect for a cozy breakfast for two. Light, airy, and delicious, they can be topped with your favorite syrup, fruits, or whipped cream.
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg
- 3/4 cup buttermilk (or milk with 1/2 tablespoon vinegar added)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (plus extra for cooking)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Batter
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, beat the egg. Then add the buttermilk, melted butter, and vanilla extract (if using). Mix until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay. Let the batter rest for about 5 minutes while you heat the skillet.
Step 2: Heat the Skillet
- Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with a small amount of butter.
Step 3: Cook the Pancakes
- Once the skillet is hot, pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
- Carefully flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Step 4: Serve
- Remove the pancakes from the skillet and keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more butter to the skillet as needed.
- Serve the pancakes warm with your choice of toppings such as maple syrup, fresh fruit, or whipped cream.
Enjoy!
These fluffy pancakes are sure to make your breakfast special. Enjoy your meal!
