Ingredients
  

1 cup all-purpose flour

2 tablespoons granulated sugar

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 cup buttermilk (room temperature)

1 large egg (room temperature)

2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted and slightly cooled)

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Extra butter or oil for cooking

Maple syrup and fresh berries for serving (optional)

Instructions
 

Whisk Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.

    Mix Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk the buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth and well blended.

      Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spatula just until combined; be careful not to overmix. A few lumps are perfectly fine—this ensures your pancakes stay fluffy!

        Heat the Pan: Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or a splash of oil.

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

            Keep Warm: Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate and cover them with a clean kitchen towel to keep them warm while you cook the remaining batter.

              Serve: Stack the pancakes on plates, drizzle with warm maple syrup, and top with fresh berries if desired. Enjoy your delicious, fluffy buttermilk pancakes!
