Ingredients

  • 2 cups self-rising flour
  • 2 cups whole buttermilk (or 1 3/4 cup low-fat buttermilk)
  • 1/4 cup salted butter, melted
  • 2 Tbsp sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Optional: Sausage links or patties for serving

Instructions

  1. Melt Butter: In a glass or microwave-safe bowl, melt the salted butter.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: Add the sugar to the melted butter and mix well. Whisk in the egg, vanilla extract, and buttermilk until the mixture is thoroughly combined.
  3. Combine: Add the self-rising flour to the wet ingredients and whisk until the batter is smooth.
  4. Preheat Skillet: Heat a flat, non-stick skillet over medium heat.
  5. Note: If using a high-quality non-stick skillet, no grease is needed. For older skillets, lightly spray with cooking spray.
  6. Pour Batter: Use a 1/2 cup scoop to add batter to the skillet, gently spreading it into a circle.
  7. Flip: Wait for bubbles to form across the entire surface of the pancake. Flip with a flat spatula and brown the other side.
  8. Adjust Heat: Adjust your stove temperature as needed to reach your desired level of browning (medium is recommended for gas stoves).
  9. Serve: Serve warm with plenty of butter and your favorite pancake syrup.
  10. Variations:
  11. Thin Pancakes: Use regular milk instead of buttermilk. The batter will be thinner; use a 1/3 cup scoop for each pancake.
  12. Sausage: Cook your favorite sausage patties or links in a separate skillet to serve alongside for the full experience.

Notes

Pro Tip: Don't rush the flip! Waiting for those bubbles to appear across the top ensures the middle is set and the bottom is perfectly golden.
