Ingredients
- 1 cup + 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon cane sugar, optional
- 2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 large egg, room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste
- 4 tablespoons vegetable oil/ ghee
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl add all the dry ingredients - all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Stir until combined.
- Then add in the wet ingredients - buttermilk, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Stir until combined, the batter will look lumpy. Mix just until there aren't any more streaks of flour.
- Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil or ghee into the hot skillet and pour the pancake batter into the skillet, about 1/4 cup per pancake.
- Flip when little bubbles start to form over the surface of the pancake. Cook each side for 2 - 3 minutes, or until your desired level of browning. Enjoy!
