There’s nothing quite like waking up to the smell of freshly made pancakes wafting through the house. These fluffy buttermilk pancakes are a weekend favorite in my home. They’re easy to whip up, and the best part is, you can customize them with your favorite toppings!
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Butter or oil for cooking
Instructions
1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
2. In another bowl, mix the buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently stir with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; it’s okay if there are a few lumps!
4. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil.
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 pancakes and cook for another 1-2 minutes, until golden brown.
7. Remove from the skillet and keep warm while you repeat with the remaining batter.
8. Serve warm with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, fresh berries, or whipped cream.
Each bite is fluffy and delightful, perfect for sharing with family and friends! Enjoy these pancakes on a leisurely morning, and let the smiles and laughter fill your kitchen.
