Ingredients
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 cups buttermilk
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
Butter or oil for cooking
Instructions
1. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
2. In a separate bowl, mix buttermilk, egg, vanilla extract, and melted butter until combined.
3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
4. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes while you heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat.
5. Lightly grease the pan with butter or oil.
6. Pour 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the hot skillet.
7. Cook until bubbles form on top and the edges look set, about 2–3 minutes.
8. Flip and cook the other side until golden brown, another 2 minutes.
9. Transfer cooked pancakes to a warm plate and repeat with remaining batter.
10. Serve warm with butter, maple syrup, and your favorite toppings.
Notes
Let your batter rest before cooking for fluffier results.
Always preheat the pan to ensure even cooking and golden edges.
For consistent size, use a 1/4 cup measuring scoop for each pancake.
