These fluffy pancakes are perfect for a cozy breakfast for two. They are quick to make and deliciously satisfying!
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
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 another bowl, combine the buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract (if using). Whisk 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.
Step 2: Heat the Skillet
- Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with cooking spray or a small amount of butter.
Step 3: 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 of the pancakes 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 while you cook the remaining batter.
-
Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings, such as maple syrup, fresh fruit, or whipped cream.
Enjoy!
These fluffy pancakes are sure to brighten your morning. Enjoy your delicious breakfast for two!
