Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 cups All-Purpose Flour
  • 2 tablespoons Granulated Sugar
  • 2 teaspoons Baking Powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
  • 0.5 teaspoon Salt
  • 1.25 cups Buttermilk at room temperature
  • 2 Large Eggs at room temperature
  • 3 tablespoons Unsalted Butter melted and slightly cooled
  • 2 teaspoons Pure Vanilla Extract

Equipment

  • 2 Mixing Bowls
  • 1 Griddle or Non-stick Skillet
  • 1 Whisk and spatula

Method
 

  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.
  2. In a separate medium bowl, whisk the buttermilk and eggs together until smooth. Then, whisk in the melted butter and vanilla extract.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be lumpy.
  4. Let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes.
  5. Heat a lightly greased griddle or non-stick skillet over medium heat.
  6. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes, until bubbles appear on the surface.
  7. Flip the pancakes and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
  8. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings.

Notes

Do Not Overmix: For the fluffiest pancakes, mix the batter until the ingredients are just combined. A few lumps are okay!
Room Temperature Ingredients: Using room temperature buttermilk and eggs helps the ingredients combine more evenly, resulting in a smoother batter and a better rise.
Check Your Heat: Ensure your griddle is at a consistent medium heat. Too hot and the pancakes will burn; too cool and they won't get fluffy.
