Pancake Batter

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Batter

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

  2. 2

    Mix the Wet Ingredients

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

  3. 3

    Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; it's okay if there are a few lumps.

  4. 4

    Heat the Pan

    Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add a little butter to the pan to grease it lightly.

  5. 5

    Cook the Pancakes

    For each pancake, pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface (about 2-3 minutes), then flip and cook the other side until golden brown (another 1-2 minutes).

  6. 6

    Serve

    Remove the pancakes from the skillet and keep warm. Serve with your favorite toppings such as syrup, fruit, or whipped cream.
