Equipment

  • Griddle or Large Nonstick Skillet

Ingredients

  • 1 cup flour
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 1 ¼ tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp cinnamon optional
  • ¼ tsp baking soda
  • ¼ salt
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 egg
  • ½ tsp vanilla
  • 1 ½ tbsp butter melted & cooled + more for serving
  • Maple syrup warmed, to taste for serving

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt, until well combined. In a small bowl, whisk the buttermilk, eggs, and vanilla.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix gently until the dry ingredients are just mixed.
  • Add the cooled melted butter and mix until the batter is evenly combined (there will be lumps). Let the batter rest while you heat the griddle or skillet.
  • Pour 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto a hot nonstick griddle or large nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray or butter.
  • Cook for 2 minutes or until the tops are covered with bubbles and the edges look cooked.
  • Carefully turn pancakes over; cook for 2 more minutes or until bottoms are lightly browned.
  • Top with butter and a drizzle of warm maple syrup.  Enjoy.
