Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 cups (480 milliliters) all-purpose flour
- 2 cups (480 milliliters) buttermilk
- 1 egg
Leavening and Seasoning Ingredients:
- 3 tablespoons (45 grams) white sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons (7.5 milliliters) baking powder
- 1 teaspoon (5 milliliters) baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon (2.5 milliliters) ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon (1.25 milliliters) salt
Liquid and Fat Ingredients:
- 1.5 teaspoons (7.5 milliliters) vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup (60 milliliters) melted butter
Instructions
- Blend dry ingredients thoroughly in a spacious mixing vessel, ensuring even distribution of flour, sugar, leavening agents, salt, and ground cinnamon.
- Whisk egg in a separate container until smooth, then incorporate buttermilk, pure vanilla essence, and smoothly melted butter.
- Gently merge wet and dry mixtures, stirring minimally to maintain a slightly textured batter – overmixing will result in dense pancakes.
- Preheat cooking surface to medium heat (around 375°F), lightly coating with cooking spray or butter to prevent sticking.
- Ladle batter onto hot griddle, allowing approximately 1/4 cup per pancake and maintaining consistent spacing between each.
- Monitor pancake surface for emerging bubbles and slightly dried edges, which signals readiness to flip – typically 2-3 minutes.
- Carefully turn pancake, cooking reverse side until achieving a golden-brown appearance, approximately 1-2 minutes.
- Transfer finished pancakes to warmed plates, garnishing with preferred accompaniments like maple syrup, fresh berries, or whipped cream.
Notes
- Avoid overmixing the batter to keep pancakes light and fluffy; lumps are your friend for tender results.
- Swap buttermilk with regular milk and add a tablespoon of lemon juice or white vinegar for a quick buttermilk substitute.
- Customize the recipe by adding fresh blueberries, chocolate chips, or chopped nuts directly into the batter for extra flavor and texture.
- Make the pancakes gluten-free by using a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend, ensuring everyone can enjoy this delicious breakfast treat.
