Description
A fluffy and delicious recipe for classic American pancakes, perfect for breakfast or brunch.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup buttermilk (or regular milk with a splash of vinegar)
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Butter or oil for cooking
Instructions
- Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large mixing bowl until well combined.
- In another bowl, mix the buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until blended. If using regular milk, let it sit with vinegar for about 5 minutes before adding the egg and butter.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined, leaving a few lumps.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and coat with butter or oil.
- Ladle about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake and cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes.
- Flip the pancakes and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
- Keep pancakes warm in a low oven while finishing the rest of the batter.
- Serve hot with butter and maple syrup or toppings of your choice.
Notes
- Do not overmix the batter to avoid tough pancakes.
- Adjust cooking time based on the heat of your skillet.
- Experiment with different toppings for variety.
