Ingredients
-
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
-
3 1/2 tsp baking powder
-
1 tsp sugar
-
1/2 tsp salt
-
1 1/4 cups buttermilk
-
1 large egg
-
2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
-
1 tsp vanilla extract
- Optional: 1/4 cup chocolate chips or berries (for extra flavor)
Instructions
-
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
-
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. The batter should be slightly lumpy; do not overmix.
-
Preheat a griddle or non-stick pan over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or cooking spray.
-
Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the griddle for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface of the pancake and the edges begin to look set, about 2-3 minutes.
-
Flip the pancake and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
-
Remove from the griddle and keep warm while you cook the remaining pancakes.
- Serve with maple syrup, fresh berries, or your favorite toppings.
Notes
-
For extra fluffy pancakes, let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes before cooking.
-
If you don’t have buttermilk, you can make a substitute by adding 1 tbsp lemon juice or vinegar to 1 1/4 cups milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
- You can add fruit or chocolate chips to the batter for different variations.
