Ingredients
  

1 cup all-purpose flour

2 tablespoons granulated sugar

1 tablespoon baking powder

½ teaspoon baking soda

½ teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 large egg

1 cup buttermilk (or milk with 1 tablespoon vinegar)

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Extra butter or oil for cooking

Maple syrup, for serving

Optional: chopped pecans or walnuts for topping

Instructions
 

Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon until well combined.

    Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the egg and then add the buttermilk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix until everything is well incorporated.

      Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. The batter should be slightly lumpy; do not overmix to ensure fluffy pancakes.

        Heat Pan: Preheat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a small amount of butter or oil to coat the surface.

          Cook Pancakes: Pour about ¼ cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface (about 2-3 minutes), then flip and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.

            Keep Warm: If making multiple pancakes, keep the cooked ones warm in a preheated oven at 200°F (90°C) while you finish the rest of the batter.

              Serve: Stack the fluffy pancakes on a plate, drizzle generously with maple syrup, and top with optional chopped nuts if desired.

                Enjoy: Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture!
