Ingredients:

Dry Ingredients:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 3 tablespoons white sugar
• 1½ teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

Wet Ingredients:

• 2 cups buttermilk
• 1½ teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 egg
• ¼ cup melted butter

Instructions:

1. Combine the Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon until well blended.
2. Prepare the Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the egg, then mix in the buttermilk, vanilla extract, and melted butter until fully incorporated.
3. Mix the Batter: Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients. Gently stir until just combined—avoid overmixing to maintain a fluffy texture. The batter should have small lumps.
4. Heat the Griddle: Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with butter or cooking spray.
5. Cook the Pancakes: Pour ¼ cup of batter for each pancake onto the hot griddle. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges begin to set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip the pancake and cook the other side until golden brown, approximately 1-2 minutes.
6. Serve and Enjoy: Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, fresh fruits, whipped cream, or a dusting of powdered sugar.
