Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup buttermilk
- ½ cup milk
- 4 tbsp melted unsalted butter
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
To Cook
- Oil (for the skillet)
- Butter (for crispiness and flavor)
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Mix the Dry Ingredients
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
2. Whisk the Wet Ingredients
- In a separate bowl, combine buttermilk, milk, melted butter, vanilla, and the egg until smooth.
3. Combine the Batter
- Slowly fold the wet mixture into the dry ingredients — do not overmix. A few lumps are good!
4. Heat the Skillet
- Preheat your skillet to the lowest level of medium heat.
- Add a bit of oil and butter to coat the pan.
5. Cook the Pancakes
- Pour batter into the pan. Once small air bubbles form, flip carefully.
- Don’t press them down — let them rise!
6. Finish & Serve
- When both sides are golden and crisped, remove from the heat and immediately top with butter.
- Serve hot with your favorite syrup or fruit.
Pro Tips & Suggestions
- Don’t skip the rest time — it makes your pancakes fluffier.
- Using both buttermilk and milk keeps the texture balanced.
- Avoid pressing down the pancake after flipping — this keeps it light and airy.
- Try adding blueberries, chocolate chips, or bananas for a twist.
