Ingredients
  

1 cup all-purpose flour

2 tablespoons granulated sugar

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 cup buttermilk (or milk mixed with 1 teaspoon vinegar)

1 large egg

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Additional butter or oil for cooking

Maple syrup and fresh fruit for serving (optional)

Instructions
 

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.

    In a separate bowl, mix the buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until fully blended.

      Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, and stir gently. Be careful not to overmix; it’s okay if there are a few lumps left in the batter. Let the batter rest for about 5 minutes.

        Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly coat it with butter or oil.

          For each pancake, pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.

            Carefully flip the pancake and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until golden brown and fluffy.

              Remove the pancake and keep warm while you repeat with the remaining batter, adding more butter or oil to the pan as needed.

                Serve your pancakes warm with maple syrup and fresh fruit, if desired.
