Ingredients
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 ½ cups buttermilk
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 tablespoons melted butter
Butter or oil for cooking
Optional toppings: fresh berries, syrup, whipped cream
Instructions
1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
2. In another bowl, beat the eggs, then mix in the buttermilk, vanilla extract, and melted butter.
3. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. A few lumps are okay.
4. Let the batter rest for 5–10 minutes to help the pancakes fluff up.
5. Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it.
6. Pour ¼ cup of batter per pancake onto the griddle.
7. Cook for 2–3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook for another 1–2 minutes until golden.
8. Serve warm with desired toppings.
Notes
Letting the batter rest is key to extra fluffy pancakes — don’t skip it.
Use a hot but not smoking pan to ensure pancakes cook evenly and stay golden, not burnt.
