Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons melted butter (plus more for cooking)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt until evenly combined.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, large egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Combine: Gently mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. It’s okay if the batter is a little lumpy; do not overmix. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes to enhance fluffiness.
- Preheat and Cook: Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly butter the surface. Pour about ¼ cup of batter for each pancake onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, approximately 2 to 3 minutes.
- Flip and Finish Cooking: Carefully flip each pancake and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes on the other side until golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve: Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, fresh fruits, or additional butter.
Notes
- Do not overmix the pancake batter; lumps are normal and help keep the pancakes tender.
- Letting the batter rest for 5 minutes helps activate the baking ingredients for fluffier pancakes.
- Adjust heat as needed to prevent the pancakes from burning before cooking through.
- For added flavor, consider sprinkling a pinch of cinnamon sugar on top before serving.
- Use a nonstick skillet or well-seasoned griddle to prevent sticking and ensure easy flipping.
