Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 large egg
- 1 1/4 cups buttermilk
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp almond extract (optional, for extra flavor)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, buttermilk, melted butter, vanilla extract, and almond extract (if using).
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix – it’s okay if there are a few lumps.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or cooking spray.
- For each pancake, pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes. Flip the pancake and cook for another 1-2 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through.
- Transfer the pancakes to a plate and keep warm while you cook the remaining pancakes.
- Serve immediately with butter, maple syrup, fresh fruit, or your favorite toppings!
Notes
- For extra fluffiness, let the pancake batter rest for 5-10 minutes before cooking.
- If you don’t have buttermilk on hand, you can substitute with 1 1/4 cups regular milk and add 1 tbsp of white vinegar or lemon juice. Let it sit for a few minutes to sour the milk.
- These pancakes can also be made ahead and stored in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat them in a toaster or microwave.
