Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 large egg
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter melted and cooled
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter

Instructions

  • Place all dry ingredients in a mixing bowl and whisk together.
  • Add remaining ingredients, except 3 tablespoons (un-melted) butter.
  • Whisk with a fork until no dry spots remain, but the batter is still lumpy.
  • Place a griddle or skillet over medium heat. Add remaining butter and melt (if using skillet, melt butter and make pancakes in batches).
