Ingredients
  

  • cups all-purpose flour King Arthur flour is recommended
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar sub with honey or maple syrup, minus 1 tbsp liquid
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp fine sea salt
  • cups buttermilk or 1¾ cups milk + 1½ tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 large egg room temperature
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter melted and cooled slightly
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract use Nielsen-Massey or any quality brand

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly combined.
  • In a medium bowl, beat the egg with buttermilk, melted butter, and vanilla until smooth.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ones. Using a spatula, fold gently until just combined; a few lumps are okay.
  • Let the batter rest for 5 minutes.
  • Heat a griddle or large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Cook pancakes until golden brown on both sides.
  • Stack pancakes high, drizzle with syrup, and serve immediately.

Notes

Sifting the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together helps avoid pockets of leavening—and gives you those signature air pockets in each pancake.
