Vanilla Cinnamon Buttermilk Pancakes
Fluffy and delicious vanilla cinnamon buttermilk pancakes that bring warmth and joy to any breakfast table.
Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour This is your foundational ingredient, providing structure.
- 2 tablespoons sugar Sweetness to balance the flavors; I prefer granulated sugar for perfect caramelization.
- 1 teaspoon baking powder Essential for the rise. Don’t skip it; otherwise, you’ll get flat cakes.
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda Boost from the buttermilk's acidity; they work together like a dynamic duo.
- 1/4 teaspoon salt A pinch enhances all flavors. The unsung hero of baking!
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon The spice that warms the soul; add more if you're a fan of cinnamon!
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup buttermilk Adds a distinct tang and tenderness. Quick substitute: regular milk with a squeeze of lemon.
- 1 large egg Gives structure and richness.
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted Creates a crispy exterior.
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Elevates the flavor.
Instructions
Preparation
- Gather your ingredients and ensure everything is ready at hand.
- In a bowl, mix the dry ingredients: flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
- In another bowl, whisk the wet ingredients: buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
- Combine the wet and dry mixtures carefully to avoid overmixing.
- Preheat a skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter.
Cooking
- Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake.
- Cook until bubbles form on the surface (about 2-3 minutes), then flip and cook until golden brown.
- Repeat until all batter is used, stacking pancakes as you go.
Serving
- Serve pancakes warm with desired toppings such as syrup, fruit, or whipped cream.
Notes
These pancakes can easily be customized with add-ins like chocolate chips or fruits. They store well and are great for meal prep.
