These fluffy buttermilk pancakes are a delightful breakfast treat, perfect for any morning.
Combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and baking soda in a mixing bowl.
Sift the dry ingredients together to ensure a smooth batter.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, buttermilk, vanilla extract, and melted butter.
Use room temperature ingredients for better mixing.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.
A few lumps in the batter are okay; they will disappear during cooking.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease the skillet with butter or oil.
The skillet is ready when a drop of water sizzles and evaporates quickly.
Pour batter onto the skillet to form pancakes of your desired size. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, then flip and cook until golden brown on the other side.
Use a ladle or measuring cup for evenly sized pancakes.
Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings such as syrup, fresh fruit, or whipped cream.
Keep pancakes warm in a low oven while cooking the rest.
