Method

Preparing the Dry Ingredients

  1. 1

    Mix Dry Ingredients

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

Preparing the Wet Ingredients

  1. 2

    Mix Wet Ingredients

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

Combining Ingredients and Cooking

  1. 3

    Combine Mixtures

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

  2. 4

    Heat the Pan

    Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil or butter to the pan.

  3. 5

    Cook the Pancakes

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

  4. 6

    Flip the Pancakes

    Carefully flip the pancakes and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown on both sides.

  5. 7

    Serve

    Remove the pancakes from the pan and serve warm with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, fresh fruit, or whipped cream.
