Vanilla Cinnamon Buttermilk Pancakes
Fluffy and delicious pancakes infused with the comforting flavors of vanilla and cinnamon, perfect for cozy mornings.
Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour Use a good quality brand for extra fluffiness.
- 2 tablespoons sugar Can be replaced with brown sugar.
- 1 teaspoon baking powder Essential for fluffiness.
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda Works with the buttermilk to create fluffiness.
- 1/4 teaspoon salt Enhances flavor.
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon Key ingredient for flavor.
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup buttermilk Can use soured regular milk as a substitute.
- 1 large egg For binding and richness.
- 2 tablespoons melted butter Use unsalted butter if possible.
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Elevates the flavor.
Instructions
Preparation
- In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
- In another bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients: buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold until just combined. Do not overmix; lumps are okay.
Cooking
- Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Test the temperature by sprinkling water; if it dances, you're ready.
- Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface (2-3 minutes), then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
- Keep pancakes warm in a low oven (200°F) while cooking the remaining batter.
Serving
- Serve warm with maple syrup, fresh fruit, or nut butter.
Notes
Don't rush the mixing! Ensure the skillet is at the right temperature. Feel free to add chocolate chips or other favorite mix-ins!
