Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 1 large egg
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Additional butter for cooking
• Maple syrup, for serving

How to Make Fluffy Buttermilk Pancakes

1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
2. In a separate bowl, mix the buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently stir until just combined; be careful not to overmix—small lumps are okay.
4. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add a small pat of butter and let it melt, coating the surface.
5. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes.
6. Flip the pancakes and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
7. Repeat with remaining batter, adding more butter to the skillet as needed.
8. Serve warm topped with maple syrup and your favorite accompaniments.

Tips for the Best Results

• Make sure your ingredients are at room temperature for the best mixing results.
• Don’t overmix the batter to keep the pancakes light and fluffy.
• Adjust the cooking temperature as needed; if the pancakes are browning too quickly, lower the heat.
• Keep cooked pancakes warm in a low oven while you finish the batch.

Easy Variations

• For a fruity twist, fold in blueberries, chocolate chips, or sliced bananas into the batter before cooking.
• Try adding a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg for a warm spice flavor.
• Substitute half of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour for a heartier pancake.

What to Serve With It

• Fresh fruit like strawberries, blueberries, or banana slices
• Whipped cream for an indulgent touch
• A sprinkle of powdered sugar for an elegant finish
• Crispy bacon or sausage for a savory contrast
