Ingredients

• 1.25 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1.25 cups buttermilk
• 1 unit large egg
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0 non-stick cooking spray or butter (for greasing the pan)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and granulated sugar until well combined.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth and well blended.

Step 3

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients, gently folding with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; small lumps in the batter are fine.

Step 4

Let the batter rest for 5–10 minutes to allow the ingredients to hydrate and the baking powder to activate.

Step 5

Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with non-stick cooking spray or butter.

Step 6

Scoop 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake, spacing them evenly apart. Use the back of the measuring cup to gently spread the batter if needed.

Step 7

Cook the pancakes for 2–3 minutes, or until small bubbles appear on the surface and the edges look set. Flip the pancakes carefully and cook for another 1–2 minutes, or until golden brown on both sides.

Step 8

Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate and cover with a clean kitchen towel to keep them warm while you cook the remaining batter.

Step 9

Serve hot with butter, maple syrup, or your favorite pancake toppings. Enjoy your IHOP-style pancakes!
