Method

Prepare the Dry Ingredients

  1. 1

    Mix Dry Ingredients

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

Prepare the Wet Ingredients

  1. 2

    Combine Wet Ingredients

    In another bowl, whisk the buttermilk, large egg, and melted unsalted butter together until smooth. If using, add the vanilla extract and mix well.

Combine Ingredients

  1. 3

    Mix Batter

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

Cook the Pancake

  1. 4

    Heat the Pan

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

  2. 5

    Cook the Pancake

    Pour about half a cup of batter onto the skillet for a single pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.

Serve

  1. 6

    Plate and Serve

    Transfer the pancake to a plate. Serve hot with maple syrup or your choice of toppings.
