Ingredients

• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 1.25 cups buttermilk
• 1 unit large egg
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons cooking oil or butter (for greasing the pan)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt until evenly combined. Set aside.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, beat the egg lightly, then add the buttermilk, honey, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Whisk together until smooth and well blended.

Step 3

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula or wooden spoon. Mix until just combined; small lumps in the batter are fine. Avoid overmixing to ensure fluffy pancakes.

Step 4

Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with cooking oil or butter.

Step 5

Using a 1/4-cup measuring cup, pour batter onto the skillet for each pancake, leaving space between them to spread.

Step 6

Cook the pancakes until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip the pancakes and cook the other side until golden brown and cooked through, another 2 minutes.

Step 7

Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate and keep warm while repeating with the remaining batter, greasing the pan as needed.

Step 8

Serve the Henny Penny Pancakes warm, drizzled with additional honey or syrup, and enjoy with your favorite toppings like fresh fruit, whipped cream, or nuts.
