Pancake Batter

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Batter

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

  2. 2

    Combine Wet Ingredients

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

  3. 3

    Mix Together

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.

  4. 4

    Heat the Pan

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

  5. 5

    Cook the Pancakes

    Pour 1/4 cup of 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 for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Remove pancakes from the skillet and keep warm. Repeat with remaining batter. Serve pancakes warm with maple syrup, fresh fruit, or your favorite toppings.
