Ingredients

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

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

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

Step 3

Gently pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Using a spatula, fold the ingredients together until just combined. The batter should be slightly lumpy—do not overmix.

Step 4

Let the batter rest for 5–10 minutes to ensure light and fluffy pancakes.

Step 5

Heat a large nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with nonstick cooking spray or a small amount of butter.

Step 6

Using a 1/4-cup measuring cup, pour portions of batter onto the hot skillet, spacing them apart to allow room for spreading.

Step 7

Cook the pancakes for 2–3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip the pancakes carefully with a spatula and cook for an additional 1–2 minutes, or until golden brown on both sides.

Step 8

Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate and cover loosely with foil to keep them warm. Repeat the process with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed.

Step 9

Serve warm with your favorite toppings, such as butter, syrup, fresh fruit, or whipped cream.
