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.
