  • Cooking Method: Stovetop
  • Prep Time: 5 minutes
  • Cook Time: 10 minutes
  • Cuisine Type: American

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1 pinch of salt
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk
  • 1 tbsp melted butter
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
  • Butter or oil for cooking

Cooking Instructions

  1. In a bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  2. In a separate bowl, mix the buttermilk, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Lumps are your friendly boulders, don’t over-mix them away!
  4. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a small dab of butter or oil (practice that sizzling sound).
  5. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
  6. Flip the pancake with all the grace of a brunch aficionado. Cook the other side until golden brown, about another 2 minutes.
  7. Serve hot and enjoy your fluffy flapjack!

Suggestions

  • Alternative Ingredients: Try almond milk instead of buttermilk, or use coconut oil instead of butter.
  • Garnishing Options: Fresh berries, whipped cream, chocolate chips, or even a drizzle of maple syrup! Go wild.
  • Cooking Tips: Make sure the skillet is hot enough to avoid soggy middles. Wait for those telltale bubbles before flipping.
