Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix until well combined.

  2. 2

    Combine Wet Ingredients

    In another bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Combine Dry and Wet Ingredients

    Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients bowl. Gently stir until just combined; do not overmix. The batter will be slightly lumpy.

  2. 4

    Add Optional Ingredients

    If desired, gently fold in fresh blueberries, sliced strawberries, banana slices, or chocolate chips into the batter.

  3. 5

    Heat the Griddle

    Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or cooking spray.

  4. 6

    Cook Pancakes

    Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook the other side until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes more.

  5. 7

    Serve

    Remove pancakes from the skillet and keep warm while you cook the remaining batter. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings, such as syrup, additional fruit, or whipped cream.
