- Method: Pan-frying
- Prep Time: 5 minutes
- Cook Time: 10 minutes
- Cuisine: American
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon melted butter
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Butter or oil for frying
Cooking Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In another bowl, combine buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Give it a good whisk until smooth and well-incorporated.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined – lumps? Totally fine.
- Heat a small pan over medium heat. Add a small amount of butter or oil to coat the pan – fancy flip is optional.
- Pour in 1/4 cup of batter. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes. Flip like a pro (or with a spatula) and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
- Transfer to a plate and repeat with remaining batter. You’re aiming for around 3-4 pancakes (or one giant pancake-kegger).
Suggestions
Run out of buttermilk? No worries! Use 1/2 cup of regular milk with a teaspoon of lemon juice. It’s practically magic. Want to get funky? Toss in some chocolate chips, blueberries, or even bacon bits to the batter. For a fancy garnish, go wild with dollops of whipped cream, fresh berries, a drizzle of maple syrup, or a sprinkle of powdered sugar. Or all of the above—you deserve it!
