Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk (whole or buttermilk)
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Optional add-ins:
- 1/2 cup blueberries, chocolate chips, or chopped nuts
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Dry Ingredients
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients.
Step 2: Mix the Wet Ingredients
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Step 3: Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients
- Pour the wet mixture into the well of the dry ingredients. Gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay. If you’re adding blueberries, chocolate chips, or nuts, fold them in at this stage.
Step 4: Preheat the Griddle
- Heat a non-stick griddle or skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or cooking spray.
Step 5: Cook the Pancakes
- Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown.
Step 6: Serve
- Remove the pancakes from the griddle and keep warm in a low oven while you cook the remaining batter. Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, fresh fruit, or whipped cream.
Step 7: Enjoy!
- Enjoy your delicious Uncle Buck’s Pancakes with family and friends!
Tips
- For extra fluffy pancakes, let the batter rest for about 5-10 minutes before cooking.
- Experiment with different add-ins like cinnamon, banana slices, or even a sprinkle of nutmeg for a unique flavor twist.
These pancakes are sure to become a family favorite!
