Method

Preparation of Dry Ingredients

  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.

Preparation of Wet Ingredients

  1. 2

    Combine Wet Ingredients

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, melted unsalted butter (cooled slightly), and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth.

Combining Ingredients

  1. 3

    Combine Both Mixtures

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.

Cooking the Pancakes

  1. 4

    Preheat Griddle or Pan

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

  2. 5

    Cook Pancakes

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

Serving

  1. 6

    Serve Warm

    Remove the pancakes from the griddle and serve warm with butter and syrup on top.
