Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups (190g) all-purpose flour
  • 3 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 ¼ cups (300ml) buttermilk (or 1 ¼ cups milk + 1 tablespoon lemon juice, let sit 5 minutes)
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted + extra for cooking
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • For the Cinnamon Butter:
  • ½ cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Mix dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar. (3 minutes)
  2. Combine wet ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth. (3 minutes)
  3. Make the batter: Pour dry ingredients into wet and gently fold together with a spatula. Do not overmix; lumps are fine. (2 minutes)
  4. Rest the batter: Let batter sit for 5-10 minutes to activate leavening and relax gluten. (10 minutes)
  5. Prepare cinnamon butter: Mix softened butter, powdered sugar, cinnamon, and salt until creamy. Refrigerate until serving. (5 minutes)
  6. Heat skillet: Warm pan over medium heat and lightly grease with butter. Test heat by flicking water drops. (3 minutes)
  7. Cook pancakes: Pour ¼ cup batter per pancake onto skillet. Cook until bubbles form and edges set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook another 2 minutes until golden and cooked through. Adjust heat as needed. (10-15 minutes)
  8. Keep warm and serve: Transfer pancakes to plate and keep warm in low oven (200°F/95°C) while cooking remaining pancakes. Serve topped with cinnamon butter. (5 minutes)

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to keep pancakes fluffy. Use fresh baking powder and baking soda for best rise. Resting the batter improves texture. Use medium heat to avoid burning. Butter and oil combo recommended for cooking. Flip pancakes only once.
