These fluffy homemade pancakes are a breakfast favorite that are quick and easy to make. Perfect for weekends or any day you want to treat yourself!
Ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup buttermilk (or regular milk with a splash of vinegar)
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons melted butter (plus more for cooking)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions:
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, mix the buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
- Heat the Pan: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter.
- Cook the Pancakes: Pour about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface (about 2-3 minutes), then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
- Serve: Remove from the skillet and keep warm while you repeat with the remaining batter. Serve warm with your favorite toppings like syrup, fruit, or whipped cream.
Enjoy your homemade pancakes!
