Method

Preparation

  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.

  2. 2

    Combine Wet Ingredients

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

  3. 3

    Combine Mixtures

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

Cooking

  1. 4

    Preheat the Pan

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

  2. 5

    Cook the Pancakes

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

Serving

  1. 6

    Stack and Serve

    Stack three pancakes on a plate, top with a generous dollop of whipped butter, and drizzle with real maple syrup. Serve immediately.
