Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Butter or oil for cooking

Instructions
 

Prepare Dry Ingredients

  • In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk gently to mix evenly.

Mix Wet Ingredients

  • In another bowl, whisk buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth and fully combined.

Combine Wet and Dry

  • Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. Small lumps are okay for fluffier pancakes.

Rest the Batter

  • Let the batter sit for 5 minutes. This helps the baking soda react with buttermilk for extra fluff.

Heat the Pan

  • Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add a small amount of butter or oil to prevent sticking.

Pour the Batter

  • Use a ladle to pour about 1/4 cup of batter per pancake. Keep space between each pancake for easy flipping.

Cook the First Side

  • Cook for 2–3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set. Avoid pressing down on the pancakes.

Flip the Pancakes

  • Use a spatula to flip carefully. Cook the other side for another 2 minutes until golden brown.

Keep Warm

  • Transfer cooked pancakes to a plate. Cover loosely with foil to keep warm while cooking remaining pancakes.

Serve and Enjoy

  • Stack pancakes on a plate and serve with syrup, fresh fruit, or your favorite toppings. Enjoy warm and fluffy pancakes.

Notes

  • Use fresh buttermilk for best fluffiness.
  • Do not overmix the batter; lumps help pancakes rise.
  • Let the batter rest 5–10 minutes for better texture.
  • Medium heat prevents burning while cooking inside.
  • Add blueberries or chocolate chips to the batter for variety.
  • Use whole wheat flour for a healthier option.
  • Keep pancakes warm in the oven while cooking the rest.
  • Serve with maple syrup, honey, or fresh fruit for extra flavor.
