Method

Pancake Preparation

  1. 1

    Mix Dry Ingredients

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

  2. 2

    Combine Wet Ingredients

    In a separate bowl, mix the buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.

  3. 3

    Combine Mixtures

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix; some lumps are okay.

  4. 4

    Fold in M&M's

    Gently fold in the M&M's into the pancake batter, distributing them evenly.

Cooking

  1. 5

    Preheat the Griddle

    Heat a non-stick griddle or frying pan over medium heat. Lightly grease with cooking spray or a little butter.

  2. 6

    Cook Pancakes

    Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the griddle for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.

  3. 7

    Flip Pancakes

    Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes on the other side until golden brown and cooked through.

  4. 8

    Repeat

    Repeat the process with the remaining batter, greasing the griddle as necessary.

Serving

  1. 9

    Serve Hot

    Serve the pancakes warm with a pat of butter on top and drizzle with warm maple syrup.
