Ingredients

Scale

1 ½ cups (190g) All-Purpose Flour
2 tablespoons Granulated Sugar
1 ½ teaspoons Baking Powder
½ teaspoon Baking Soda
½ teaspoon Salt
1 ¼ cups (300ml) Whole Milk
¼ cup (60ml) Buttermilk
1 large Egg
2 tablespoons Unsalted Butter, melted
1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract

Instructions

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until no lumps remain.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk the milk, buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth and uniform.
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Gently stir with a spatula or spoon until the flour is just moistened. The batter should remain lumpy; do not overmix.
Let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes to allow the flour to hydrate and baking powder to activate.
Heat a non-stick griddle or pan over medium heat. Test readiness by sprinkling water drops; they should sizzle and evaporate quickly.
Lightly grease the pan with butter or oil. Pour about ¼ cup of batter for each pancake.
Cook until bubbles form on the surface and pop, leaving holes open (about 1-2 minutes).
Flip the pancake and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown on the other side.
Serve immediately with favorite toppings, or keep warm in a 200°F oven on a wire rack.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter; lumps are okay. Ensure baking powder is fresh for proper rise. If you don’t have buttermilk, substitute with milk and lemon juice. Keep finished pancakes warm in a 200°F oven on a wire rack to prevent sogginess. Batter should not be frozen; freeze cooked pancakes instead.
