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
- Prepare Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the buttermilk, large egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Combine Wet and Dry: Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients just until combined; it’s okay if the batter is a bit lumpy. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes to promote extra fluffiness.
- Heat the Skillet: Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly butter the surface to prevent sticking.
- Cook Pancakes: Pour about ¼ cup of batter per pancake onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and edges start to look set, about 2 to 3 minutes. Flip and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes or until golden and cooked through.
- Serve Warm: Remove pancakes from pan and keep warm. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings such as syrup, fresh fruit, or additional butter.
Notes
- Do not overmix the batter; a few lumps are okay to keep pancakes fluffy.
- Using buttermilk is crucial for the tangy flavor and tender crumb.
- Resting the batter before cooking helps the pancakes rise better for extra fluffiness.
- Add a pinch of nutmeg for an additional warm spice note if desired.
- Butter the skillet between batches to avoid sticking and ensure even cooking.
