Posted on October 5, 2025
Prep Time Preparation: 10 minutes Cooking: 15 minutes Total Time: 25 minutes Equipment Mixing bowls Whisk Measuring cups and spoons Non-stick skillet or griddle Spatula 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 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (plus more for cooking) 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 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 5: Cook the pancakes Pour ¼ cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set, about 2 minutes. Flip and cook for another 1–2 minutes, until golden brown. Step 6: Serve Stack pancakes on a plate and serve warm with butter, maple syrup, or your favorite toppings.
