Ingredients

  • 1 cup (140 g) all-purpose flour (you can also use self-rising -see notes)
  • 1/4 cup (50 g) granulated sugar
  • 3 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (240 ml) buttermilk (see notes)
  • 2 tablespoons (30 g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon (5 ml) vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl and stir using a balloon whisk to combine.
  • Add the wet ingredients: buttermilk, melted butter, and vanilla, and mix until smooth. Let the batter rest for 5 -10 minutes.
  • Heat a medium non-stick frying pan over medium-low heat. Lightly spray with butter.
  • Pour a 1/4-cupful of batter into the pan. Cook for 1-2 minutes or until bubbles rise to the surface and the base is golden brown. Use a spatula to turn and cook the other side until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter to make the rest of the pancakes.

Notes

 
Store: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. You can keep pancakes for as long as three months in the freezer.
Freeze: Wrap the cooled pancakes in wax paper and then stack them all in a gallon-size freezer bag. Close the bag and make sure to squeeze out as much air as possible to prevent freezer burn.
Reheat: Remove the pancakes from the freezer, let them stand at room temperature for 5 minutes.
  • Oven: cover with tinfoil and heat in a preheated oven for 6-8 minutes, or until warm.
  • Microwave: wrap a pancake in a damp paper towel and microwave for 30 -40 secs, turning once, or until heated through.
Flour: You can use all-purpose flour or self-rising flour. If using self-rising, omit the baking powder and salt called in the recipe. 
You don't have buttermilk? NO problem!!
To make 1 cup of buttermilk, combine 1 cup of whole milk and 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar, white vinegar, or lemon juice. Let the mixture stand at room temperature for 5 to 8 minutes. When it is ready, the milk will be slightly thickened, and you will see small curdled bits. What the video here!
Dairy-Free: If you are unable to have dairy, here are my tips on how to adapt this recipe:
  • Make your dairy-free buttermilk: mix 1 cup plant-based milk + 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or apple cider vinegar. Let the mixture sit for five minutes until the milk looks like it has curdled. 
  • Use the same amount of vegan butter substitute. For baking, my fave dairy-free butter substitutes are Miyoko’s Creamery Organic Vegan Butter and Earth Balance Vegan Buttery Sticks.
Gluten-Free: Use an equal amount of your favorite gluten-free flour blend in place of the all-purpose flour. My favorite is Cup4Cup gluten-free flour. 
Quick Tips:
  • Measure the ingredients correctly. I highly recommend using a kitchen scale to avoid using too much flour. This prevents you from ending up with dense pancakes.
  • Don’t overmix the batter. It's ok if your pancake mixture is a little lumpy.
  • Make sure the skillet isn't on high heat as you might end up with pancakes that brown before the inside is cooked through.
  • Wiping down the skillet between batches will help avoid any burned bits of butter ending up on your pancakes.
