  • Yield: 8 medium pancakes (3–4 servings)
  • Category: Breakfast
  • Method: Stovetop
  • Cuisine: American
  • Diet: Vegetarian

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 1/4 cups buttermilk (or 1 1/4 cups milk + 1 tbsp vinegar or lemon juice)
  • 1 large egg
  • 3 tbsp melted butter
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar.
  3. In another bowl, whisk buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla until smooth.
  4. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and mix gently until just combined. Do not overmix; some lumps are fine.
  5. Lightly grease skillet and pour about 1/4 cup batter for each pancake.
  6. Cook until bubbles form and edges begin to set, about 2–3 minutes. Flip and cook another 1–2 minutes until golden.
  7. Serve warm with butter, maple syrup, or desired toppings.

Notes

  • Add blueberries, chocolate chips, or banana slices for variety.
  • Use half whole wheat flour for a heartier texture.
  • Top with whipped cream, nuts, or fruit compote for a special breakfast.
  • Freeze pancakes in a single layer, then store in a bag for quick reheating.
  • Keep cooked pancakes warm in a 200°F (95°C) oven while making the rest.
