Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
Wet Ingredients
- 1 large egg
- 1 1/4 cups buttermilk
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp almond extract (optional, for extra flavor)
Instructions
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon until evenly combined.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the egg, buttermilk, melted unsalted butter, vanilla extract, and almond extract (if using) until smooth.
- Combine Wet and Dry: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to maintain lightness; it’s okay if there are a few lumps.
- Heat Skillet: Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Cook Pancakes: Pour approximately 1/4 cup of batter onto the heated skillet for each pancake. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface. Flip the pancake using a spatula and cook for another 1-2 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Keep Warm: Transfer cooked pancakes to a plate and keep warm while cooking the remaining batter to ensure all pancakes are served hot.
- Serve: Serve the pancakes immediately with butter, maple syrup, fresh fruit, or your favorite toppings for a delightful breakfast experience.
Notes
- Do not overmix the batter to keep pancakes fluffy and tender.
- Use a non-stick skillet or griddle for best cooking results and easy flipping.
- Almond extract is optional but adds a lovely extra depth of flavor.
- Keep cooked pancakes warm by covering them loosely with foil or placing them in a warm oven.
- Adjust the heat as needed to prevent burning while ensuring pancakes cook through.
