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 (or 1 cup milk + 1 tablespoon lemon juice or vinegar)

1 large egg

2 tablespoons melted butter (plus extra for cooking)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions
 

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

    Prepare Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth and fully incorporated.

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

        Heat the Griddle: Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat, and add a small amount of butter to coat the surface.

          Cook Pancakes: Pour about 1/4 cup of the batter for each pancake onto the preheated griddle. Cook until bubbles form on the surface (about 2-3 minutes), then flip and cook the other side until golden brown (another 1-2 minutes). Repeat until all the batter is used.

            Serve Warm: Serve the pancakes warm with your choice of toppings such as maple syrup, fresh fruits, whipped cream, or chocolate chips.
