Fluffy Buttermilk Pancakes

These fluffy buttermilk pancakes are a delightful treat that reminds me of cozy Sunday mornings at home with the family. Topped with syrup or fresh fruit, you simply can't go wrong!

Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• ½ teaspoon baking soda
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• 1 cup buttermilk (or milk with a splash of vinegar)
• 1 large egg
• 2 tablespoons melted butter (plus extra for cooking)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
2. In another bowl, combine the buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract (if using). Mix well.
3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix – a few lumps are perfectly fine!
4. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a little butter.
5. Pour about ¼ cup of batter for each pancake onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles appear on the surface (about 2-3 minutes), then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes or until golden brown.
6. Keep pancakes warm in a low oven while you finish cooking the rest.
7. Serve warm with your favorite toppings like maple syrup, fresh fruits, or whipped cream!
