Instructions

• Step 1: Melt the Butter. Start by melting 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter in a small saucepan over low heat or in the microwave. Once melted, set it aside to cool slightly.
• Step 2: Combine Dry Ingredients. In a mixing bowl, whisk together 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
• Step 3: Mix Wet Ingredients. In another bowl, combine the melted butter, 1 large egg, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons of buttermilk. Whisk until well blended.
• Step 4: Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients. Pour the wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients and gently fold them together. If the batter seems too thick, add the additional 2 tablespoons of buttermilk, one tablespoon at a time.
• Step 5: Preheat the Skillet. Heat your skillet or non-stick griddle over medium heat and add a small amount of unsalted butter to coat the surface.
• Step 6: Cook the Pancakes. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook until golden brown.
• Step 7: Serve and Enjoy. Remove pancakes from the skillet and keep warm while cooking the remaining batter. Serve with maple syrup, fresh berries, or your favorite toppings.
