Ingredients you will need for this recipe

  • All-purpose flour: All-purpose flour provides the structure for the pancakes.

  • Granulated sugar: Sugar adds sweetness to the pancakes. You can use brown sugar for a hint of molasses flavor, or leave it out if you prefer less sweetness.

  • Baking powder: Baking powder is the leavening agent that helps the pancakes rise, making them light and fluffy.

  • Egg: The egg binds the ingredients together and adds moisture.

  • Milk: Milk adds moisture and thins out the batter to the right consistency.

  • Buttermilk: Buttermilk gives these pancakes a tangy flavor and a fluffy, tender texture. Its acidity reacts with the baking powder to help the batter rise beautifully.

  • Butter: For this recipe we need melted butter. Make sure to melt it and let it slightly cool down before mixing in the batter.

  • Vanilla extract: A splash of vanilla extract enhances the flavor of the pancakes.
