Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup All-Purpose Flour
- 2 Tbsp Sugar granulated
- 1 tsp Baking Soda
- 1 tsp Baking Powder
- 1/4 tsp Salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 Large Egg
- 2 Tbsp Butter melted, unsalted
- 1/2 cup Buttermilk
- 1/2 cup Milk whole
- 1/2 tsp Vanilla Extract
For Cooking
- Vegetable Oil or butter
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, melted butter, buttermilk, whole milk, and vanilla extract.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. A few lumps are okay; don't overmix. Overmixing develops the gluten in the flour, which can make the pancakes tough.
- Heat a lightly oiled griddle or large skillet over medium heat. You'll know it's hot enough when a drop of water sizzles and evaporates quickly.
- Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake.
- Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Flip the pancakes when bubbles start to form on the surface and the edges look set.
- Serve immediately with your favorite toppings.
