Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 1/3 cup Flour
  • 1 tbsp Baking Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 3 tbsp Sugar

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 Large Egg
  • 3/4 cup Milk
  • 1/2 cup Buttermilk
  • 1/2 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 3 tbsp Vegetable Oil

Instructions

  • Add flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar into a bowl. Whisk together to combine. In a separate bowl, beat together buttermilk, milk, egg, vanilla, and oil, until well combined and smooth.
  • Make a well in the dry ingredients, and pour the milk mixture in. Mix until just incorporated (a few lumps are fine), ensuring not to overmix. Cover and allow to rest for 15-30 minutes. 
  • Meanwhile, heat a large greased pan over medium heat. When hot, drop dollops of batter onto pan. Pancakes are ready to be flipped when several bubbles begin to rise and pop out of the batter.
  • Cook until both sides are golden brown, then serve with any garnishment or topping of your choice!

Notes

† Try to use full-fat buttermilk, however if you use the lower-fat variety the batter will just be thinner.
