Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour 5oz/142g
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoons salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup buttermilk 8floz/240ml
  • 1 large egg at room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons butter 1oz/28g, melted
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

For Cooking and Serving

  • Butter for cooking
  • Maple syrup butter and fresh berries, for serving

Instructions
 

  • In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • In another medium bowl, whisk the buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla.
  • Combine the wet and dry ingredients until just a few lumps remain. Let the batter rest in the fridge for 20 minutes.
  • Heat a skillet over medium-low heat and once hot, brush the surface with some butter.
  • Pour a ¼ cup (2oz/57g) of batter onto the skillet.
  • Cook for 2-3 minutes on this side. Once bubbles begin to form on the surface, carefully flip and cook the other side for 1 minute, until golden brown and cooked through.
  • Transfer to a plate and place a clean tea towel over the pancake to keep warm while you cook the remaining batter.
  • Serve with more butter, warm maple syrup, and fresh berries. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 2 months. Defrost on a warmed skillet or in the microwave.
