Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup buttermilk (or milk + 1 tsp vinegar/lemon juice as substitute)
- 1 large egg

Ingredient Notes
- Buttermilk: Essential for fluffy pancakes, but you can make a quick version with milk and vinegar or lemon juice.
- Flour: All-purpose flour works best, but you can substitute with whole wheat for a healthier version.
- Sugar: Adjust depending on how sweet you like your pancakes.
Instructions
Step 1: Mix the dry ingredients
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Step 2: Mix the wet ingredients
In another bowl, whisk together buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Step 3: Combine
Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined (the batter should be slightly lumpy—don’t overmix).

Step 4: Heat the skillet
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter.

Step 6: Serve
Stack pancakes on a plate and serve warm with butter, maple syrup, or your favorite toppings.
