Ingredients
Scale:
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
1 ¼ cups buttermilk (or substitute with 1 cup milk + ¼ cup vinegar or lemon juice)
1 large egg
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (plus extra for greasing the pan)
Prepare the dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
Combine the wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth.
Mix the batter: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently stir until just combined. Letting the batter rest for about 5-10 minutes can enhance the fluffiness.
Heat the pan: Preheat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with a bit of butter or oil.
Cook the pancakes: Pour about ¼ cup of batter onto the heated skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes. Flip the pancake and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
Keep warm: Transfer cooked pancakes to a plate and keep warm in a low oven while you repeat with the remaining batter.
Serve: Stack the pancakes and serve immediately with your favorite toppings.
