Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. Sift together the dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Sifting helps aerate the flour, resulting in lighter, fluffier pancakes.
  2. Prepare the wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined. The melted butter adds richness and flavor to the pancakes, while the buttermilk contributes to their tender texture.
  3. Combine wet and dry ingredients: Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet ingredients. Gently stir the mixture until just combined, being careful not to overmix. A few lumps in the batter are perfectly fine – they’ll ensure your pancakes are tender and fluffy.
  4. Let the batter rest: Allow the batter to rest for 5-10 minutes. This resting period allows the flour to fully hydrate and the leavening agents to activate, resulting in pancakes that rise beautifully when cooked.
  5. Heat the griddle or skillet: Meanwhile, preheat a griddle or non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add a small amount of butter or oil to lightly grease the surface, ensuring the pancakes don’t stick.
  6. Cook the pancakes: Once the griddle or skillet is hot, ladle about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the cooking surface. Cook until bubbles form on the surface of the pancakes and the edges appear set, about 2-3 minutes.
  7. Flip and cook the other side: Using a spatula, carefully flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  8. Serve and enjoy: Transfer the pancakes to a plate and serve warm, with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, fresh berries, whipped cream, or melted butter.
  9. Repeat: Continue cooking the remaining batter in batches, greasing the griddle or skillet as needed, until all the pancakes are cooked.

Conclusion

This foolproof recipe ensures pancake perfection every time – golden brown, fluffy, and utterly irresistible. Whether treating yourself to a leisurely breakfast or hosting a brunch gathering with loved ones, these perfect pancakes will surely be a hit. So fire up the griddle, pour that batter, and savor the magic of homemade goodness in every bite.
