Instructions

1

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

2

In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, whole milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.

3

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined; the batter should be slightly lumpy. Do not overmix.

4

Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with vegetable oil.

5

Pour approximately 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake.

6

Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.

7

Flip the pancake and cook until golden brown on the other side, about 1-2 minutes.

8

Remove from the skillet and keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter.

9

Serve warm with your choice of toppings such as maple syrup, fresh berries, or whipped cream.

💡 Chef's Tip

For fluffier pancakes, let the batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking. Ensure the skillet is properly heated before adding the batter to achieve a golden-brown color.
