There is something so special about waking up to the smell of pancakes cooking on the stove. These are my go to recipe because they turn out perfectly soft and light every single time.

My favorite trick is to let the batter rest for a few minutes before you start cooking. It makes all the difference in getting that nice, tall rise that we all love.

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
3 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 cups buttermilk
1 large egg
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

7Instructions

1
Whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a large bowl.
2
In a separate small bowl, mix the buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
3
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix as a few small lumps are perfectly fine.
4
Heat a lightly greased skillet or griddle over medium heat.
5
Scoop about one quarter cup of batter onto the hot surface for each pancake.
6
Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, then flip and cook the other side until golden brown.
7
Serve warm with your favorite syrup and fresh fruit.

Tips

Keep your cooked pancakes warm in a low oven set to 200 degrees while you finish the rest of the batch. If you have leftovers, they freeze beautifully and can be popped into the toaster for a quick weekday breakfast.
