For Cooking

Method

Prepare Dry Ingredients

  1. 1

    Mix the Dry Ingredients

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

Prepare Wet Ingredients

  1. 2

    Combine the Wet Ingredients

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

Combine Ingredients

  1. 3

    Mix Dry and Wet Ingredients

    Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined; it’s okay if there are a few lumps. Do not overmix.

Cook Pancakes

  1. 4

    Heat the Pan

    In a large skillet or griddle, heat the butter or oil over medium heat until melted and hot.

  2. 5

    Cook the Pancakes

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

  3. 6

    Repeat

    Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more butter or oil to the pan as needed.

Serve

  1. 7

    Serve Warm

    Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings such as syrup, fresh fruit, or whipped cream.
