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

  1. 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.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the buttermilk, large egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. 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.
  4. Heat the Skillet: Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly butter the surface to prevent sticking.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
