Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 3/4 cup buttermilk
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 egg large
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter melted
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • butter or oil for cooking
  • maple syrup serving

Instructions
 

  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Do not overmix; it's okay if there are a few lumps.
  • Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a small amount of butter or oil to coat the surface.
  • Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, pour the batter onto the skillet or griddle. Cook until bubbles form on the surface of the pancake, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
  • Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more butter or oil as needed.
  • Serve the pancakes warm with maple syrup.
