Ingredients

Servings4

Yields 8 pancakes

  • (1 1/2 cups) all-purpose flour
  • (2 tablespoons) granulated sugar
  • (1 tablespoon) baking powder
  • (1/2 teaspoons) baking soda
  • (1/2 teaspoons) salt
  • (1 1/4 cups) buttermilk
  • (1) large egg
  • (3 tablespoons) unsalted butter, melted
  • (1 teaspoon) vanilla extract
  • (1 cup) mixed fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a large bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt until well combined.

  2. 2

    In a separate bowl, mix 1 1/4 cups buttermilk, 1 large egg, 3 tablespoons melted unsalted butter, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth.

  3. 3

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.

  4. 4

    Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease it with cooking spray or a small amount of butter.

  5. 5

    Pour 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 for an additional 1-2 minutes until golden brown.

  6. 6

    Remove pancakes from the skillet and keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter.

  7. 7

    Serve pancakes warm, topped with 1 cup of mixed fresh berries.
