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
• 1 large egg
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Fresh strawberries, blackberries, or other berries for topping
• Maple syrup for serving

How to Make Fluffy Buttermilk Pancakes

1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk the buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
4. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease it with cooking spray or a little butter.
5. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes.
6. Flip the pancakes and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown.
7. Remove from the skillet and keep warm while you repeat with the remaining batter.
8. Serve the pancakes stacked high, topped with fresh berries and a generous drizzle of maple syrup.

Tips for the Best Results

• Ensure your ingredients are at room temperature for the best texture.
• Don’t overmix the batter; it’s okay if there are a few lumps.
• Adjust the heat as necessary to prevent burning. If the pancakes are browning too quickly, lower the heat.
• Let the pancakes rest for a few minutes before serving to enhance their fluffiness.

Easy Variations

• Add chocolate chips or nuts to the batter for extra flavor and texture.
• Substitute half of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour for a heartier pancake.
• Use flavored extracts like almond or maple for a twist on the classic vanilla.

What to Serve With It

• Crispy bacon or sausage links for a savory addition.
• A side of yogurt for a creamy contrast.
• Whipped cream for a decadent touch.
• A sprinkle of powdered sugar for a touch of sweetness.
