Step 1

In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and sugar.

Step 2

In a large glass measuring cup, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, the melted butter, and thevanilla. It will be a bit clumpy, and that’s ok!

Step 3

Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir just until no dry pockets of flour remain, butdon't worry about lumps in your batter. Over-mixing will prevent tender, fluffy pancakes.

Step 4

Meanwhile, melt an extra tablespoon of butter in your skillet or griddle over medium heat. Using a ¼-cup measure, scoop out batter onto the preheated the skillet. Cook until bubbles appear across the entire surface, and then flip to cook the second side until golden brown.

Step 5

Repeat with all remaining batter, using additional butter as needed.

Step 6

Serve with maple syrup and extra butter. This recipe makes 12 pancakes.
