Ingredients
  

1 cup all-purpose flour

2 tablespoons granulated sugar

2 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

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

1 large egg

2 tablespoons melted butter (plus extra for cooking)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Maple syrup, for serving

Optional toppings: fresh berries, sliced bananas, whipped cream

Instructions
 

Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until fully combined.

    Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, mix the buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and well incorporated.

      Merge Mixtures: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined; be careful not to overmix—the batter should be lumpy.

        Rest the Batter: Allow the batter to sit for about 5-10 minutes. This helps the pancakes become fluffy!

          Heat the Pan: Preheat a griddle or non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add a small amount of butter to coat the surface.

            Cook the Pancakes: For each pancake, pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the pan. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set (about 2-3 minutes). Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes, until golden brown.

              Serve Warm: Stack the pancakes on a plate and keep warm in a low oven if making multiple batches. Drizzle with maple syrup and add optional toppings like fresh berries or bananas.

                Enjoy: Serve immediately with extra maple syrup on the side!
