Ingredients
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 1 small egg
- 1 tablespoon melted butter
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Butter for the pan
Cooking Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine 1/2 cup flour, 1 tablespoon sugar, 1/2 teaspoon baking powder, 1/4 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/8 teaspoon salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup buttermilk, 1 small egg, 1 tablespoon melted butter, and 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. (Lumps are okay! It’s not a physics exam.)
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add a small nob of butter and let it melt.
- Pour 1/4 cup of batter into the skillet. Wait for bubbles to form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes, then flip. Cook for another 2 minutes, until golden brown.
- Repeat until all the batter is used up. Should get you about 3-4 pancakes. Not bad for a party of one!
Suggestions
Out of buttermilk? Use a mix of milk and a teaspoon of lemon juice. Top with fresh berries, a dollop of whipped cream, or go classic with maple syrup. Want some crunch? Toss in a handful of chopped nuts or chocolate chips into the batter. Cook slowly to avoid burning and savor the journey—great things come to those who flip patiently.
