Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons melted butter (plus more for cooking)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt until evenly combined.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth and fully incorporated.
- Combine Wet and Dry: Gently pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir just until combined. It’s okay if the batter remains slightly lumpy. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes to enhance fluffiness.
- Preheat Skillet: Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly butter the surface to prevent sticking.
- Cook Pancakes: Pour ¼ cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes or until bubbles appear on the surface and edges start to set. Carefully flip and cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes until golden and cooked through.
- Serve Warm: Serve the pancakes immediately while warm, optionally with syrup, butter, or your favorite toppings.
Notes
- Resting the batter allows the baking soda to react with the buttermilk for a fluffier texture.
- Use melted butter in the batter and for cooking to enhance flavor and prevent sticking.
- For extra cinnamon flavor, sprinkle a little more cinnamon on the batter side before flipping.
- These pancakes freeze well; reheat in a toaster or oven for a quick breakfast.
- Avoid overmixing the batter to keep your pancakes tender and soft.
