Batter Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons sugar adjust quantity or use honey/maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder ensure it's fresh
  • 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt essential for overall taste
  • 1.25 cups buttermilk can substitute with milk + vinegar or lemon juice
  • 1 large egg acts as a binder
  • 3 tablespoons melted butter can substitute with oil for a dairy-free version
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract consider using pure vanilla
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon increase for stronger essence

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients: all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon. Whisk for about 1-2 minutes until well combined.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients: buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Beat until smooth, about 1-2 minutes.
  3. Gently pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir just until combined, leaving a few lumps. Let the batter rest for about 5 minutes.
  4. Preheat your skillet or griddle over medium heat for about 5 minutes. Sprinkle a few drops of water to check readiness; they should sizzle.
  5. Ladle approximately ½ cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface.
  6. Carefully flip the pancake and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown. Check for doneness by pressing the center.
  7. Serve warm with syrup, fresh fruit, or whipped cream. Customize as desired.

Notes

Freshly mixed batter leads to maximum fluffiness. Watch for bubbles on the surface while cooking. Preheat the skillet for even cooking to achieve that perfect golden-brown finish.
