INGREDIENTS
- 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup (180ml) buttermilk (or substitute with ¾ cup milk + 1 tsp lemon juice)
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons melted butter (plus more for greasing)
INSTRUCTIONS
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In another bowl, whisk the buttermilk, egg, vanilla, and melted butter until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix—the batter should be slightly lumpy.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-low heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.
- Using a teaspoon or piping bag, drop small dollops of batter onto the skillet (about 1 to 1½ inches wide).
- Cook for about 1 minute or until bubbles form and the edges look set. Flip and cook another 30–45 seconds until golden and cooked through.
- Serve warm with maple syrup, fruit, whipped cream, or powdered sugar.
