Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 Tbsp sugar
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 Tbsp butter melted
  • 1 1/4 cups buttermilk
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  • In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
  • In a small mixing bowl, add the buttermilk, egg, melted butter and vanilla extract. Lightly beat until combined.
  • Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined, being sure to not overmix. Lumps make for fluffy pancakes!
  • Place a pan over medium heat and add ½ tbsp. of butter. Scoop the batter out using ¼ measuring cup and pour into the center of the heated pan. Allow the pancakes to cook approximately 2 minute or until you see small bubbles on the surface of the pancake. Flip, and cook for 1 additional minute. The pancakes should be lightly golden brown in color.

Notes

-Can make 8-10 pancakes depending on how big you make them.
-For a healthier option, try substituting ½ c. of all-purpose flour for whole wheat flour. Adding 1-2 additional tablespoons of buttermilk might be necessary.
-Blueberries, raspberries, chocolate chips or bacon can be added to the batter as the last and final step (before cooking them).
