Description
Delicious fluffy pancakes perfect for breakfast.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a large bowl, add dry ingredients: flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk to remove clumps.
- Add egg, buttermilk, and vanilla to the dry ingredients. Stir until JUST combined (overmixing can cause your pancakes to turn out tough). There will be a few lumps in the batter – this is normal. Let the finished batter sit for 5 minutes.
- Heat up a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-low heat.
- Melt a small pat of butter into the pan (and repeat before each pancake). As needed, wipe out the pan to prevent leftover butter from burning around the edges.
- Measure about ⅓ cup of batter into your skillet and allow pancakes to cook until browned on the bottom, you see bubbles bursting through in the center, and the edges look set. Be patient – this can take up to two minutes per side, depending on the heat of your skillet and thickness of your pancakes.
- Flip and cook the second side until lightly browned and pancake is cooked through in the center. Repeat with remaining batter.
- Serve pancakes with your favorite maple syrup, fresh fruit, or a dusting of confectioner’s sugar.
Notes
- Let the batter sit for 5 minutes for best results.
- Adjust cooking time based on the heat of your skillet.
