Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 1 ¼ cups buttermilk (or milk + 1 tbsp vinegar)
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted (plus more for the pan)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Optional: fresh berries, chocolate chips, or sliced bananas

Instructions

  1. Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl.
  2. In another bowl, whisk buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla until smooth.
  3. Pour wet ingredients into dry and fold gently until combined. Do not overmix—lumps are fine.
  4. Let batter rest 5–10 minutes while preheating a skillet or griddle over medium heat.
  5. Lightly grease the pan with butter. Pour ¼ cup batter per pancake.
  6. Cook 2–3 minutes until bubbles form and edges look set, then flip and cook until golden.
  7. Serve warm with toppings of choice.

Notes

  • Add blueberries or chocolate chips to the batter for variation.
  • For lemon pancakes, add zest and a little juice to the wet ingredients.
  • Dairy-free option: use almond milk and vegan butter.
  • Make mini pancakes with 1 tbsp batter each, adjusting cook time.
  • Freeze extras with parchment between each pancake for up to 2 months.
