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 (or milk + 1 tablespoon vinegar)

1 large egg

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Cooking spray or additional butter for the skillet

Instructions
 

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

    Prepare Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix the buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.

      Combine the Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently fold with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; small lumps are perfectly fine.

        Rest the Batter: Let the batter sit for about 10-15 minutes. This allows the ingredients to hydrate and helps create fluffier pancakes.

          Heat the Skillet: Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with cooking spray or a little butter.

            Cook the Pancakes: Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface (about 2-3 minutes), then flip and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown and fluffy.

              Keep Warm: Transfer cooked pancakes to a warm plate or keep them in a low oven while you cook the rest.

                Serve: Stack the pancakes high and serve with your favorite toppings like maple syrup, fresh fruits, whipped cream, or chocolate chips!
