Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup buttermilk (or substitute with 1 cup milk + 1 tablespoon vinegar or lemon juice)
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (plus extra for cooking)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • Maple syrup, for serving
  • Fresh fruit, nuts, or chocolate chips (optional, for topping)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Batter

  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
  2. In a separate bowl, mix the buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract (if using) until smooth.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.

Step 3: Cook the Pancakes

  1. Once the skillet is hot, pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Leave enough space between pancakes to allow for spreading.
  2. Cook until bubbles form on the surface of the pancakes and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Carefully flip the pancakes using a spatula and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.

  1. Remove the pancakes from the skillet and keep warm in a low oven (about 200°F) while you cook the remaining batter.
  2. Serve the pancakes warm with maple syrup and your choice of toppings such as fresh fruit, nuts, or chocolate chips.
