Ingredients
  • 1 1/2 cups All-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons Baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon Baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 2 tablespoons Sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups Buttermilk
  • 1 Egg
  • 2 tablespoons Melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar. This ensures that the leavening agents are evenly distributed throughout the dry ingredients, resulting in light and fluffy pancakes.

Wet Ingredients

In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Make sure the butter is melted but not hot, as hot butter can cook the egg.

Combine Wet and Dry

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can lead to tough pancakes. A few lumps are okay.

Cooking the Pancakes

Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium heat. For each pancake, pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Flip the pancakes when bubbles start to form on the surface and the edges look set.

Serving

Serve immediately with your favorite toppings, such as maple syrup, fresh fruit, whipped cream, or chocolate chips. Enjoy!

FAQ

  • Can I use regular milk instead of buttermilk?

    Yes, you can substitute regular milk for buttermilk. For best results, add 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 1/2 cups of milk and let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
  • Can I make the batter ahead of time?

    It's best to make the batter fresh for the fluffiest pancakes. However, you can prepare the dry and wet ingredients separately ahead of time and combine them just before cooking.
  • How do I keep the pancakes warm?

    Place the cooked pancakes on a baking sheet in a warm oven (200°F or 93°C) until ready to serve.
