Description
These Vanilla Cinnamon Buttermilk Pancakes are the ultimate cozy breakfast. Soft, fluffy, and kissed with warm cinnamon and vanilla, they’re perfect for slow weekend mornings. Serve them with butter, syrup, or your favorite toppings for a homemade brunch that feels extra special.
Ingredients
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
½ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 ¼ cups buttermilk
1 large egg
1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
3 tablespoons melted butter (plus more for cooking)
Instructions
1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, salt, and cinnamon.
2. In a separate bowl, mix the buttermilk, egg, vanilla extract, and melted butter.
3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and gently stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
4. Let the batter rest for 5–10 minutes while you preheat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat.
5. Lightly grease the skillet with butter. Pour ¼ cup of batter per pancake onto the surface.
6. Cook for 2–3 minutes, until bubbles appear and the edges look set. Flip and cook 1–2 minutes more.
7. Stack and serve with your favorite toppings: butter, syrup, powdered sugar, or fresh fruit.
Notes
Let the batter rest before cooking to ensure extra fluffy pancakes.
Don’t overmix — a few lumps in the batter are perfectly fine.
Preheating the skillet well is key to golden, evenly cooked pancakes.
