Servings: 16 pancakes
Author: Anaga

Ingredients

  • 2 ½ cups all purpose flour
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 2 tbsp butter melted
  • 2 cups butter milk
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 egg
  • Mix ins of your choice

Instructions

  • Add the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt to a medium bowl and whisk well to combine.
  • In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter and then add in the buttermilk and vanilla and mix.
  • Add in the egg and whisk well, until the egg has been fully incorporated into the mixture.
  • Add the wet mixture into the dry mixture and whisk until fully combined. Some lumps are ok!
  • Add in your desired mix ins (more on this to follow).
  • Using a ⅓ cup measure, pour your batter onto your griddle and wait for bubbles to form across the surface of the pancake. The cooked side should be golden brown!
  • Flip and cook again before transferring to a plate. Top with butter and syrup!

Notes

Mix in options: 
  1. The classic: Chocolate Chip. I love to use mini chocolate chips for a more even chocolate distribution across the pancake! 
  2. Birthday cake: Rainbow jimmies + chopped white chocolate 
  3. Tropical: Crushed pineapple and sweetened coconut flakes 
  4. Cinnamon sugar: 1 tbsp cinnamon + 1 tbsp brown sugar mixed together and sprinkled over each pancake as it cooks 
  5. Berry-licious: Sliced strawberries and blueberries mixed into the batter OR artfully arranged on top of each pancake as it cooks 
  6. Lemon: ½ tsp of lemon extract added to the wet ingredients and combine the zest of 1 lemon with the sugar before continuing with the recipe
