Description
Enjoy warm, fluffy, and aromatic Vanilla Cinnamon Buttermilk Pancakes, perfect for a relaxed weekend breakfast or brunch. The tangy buttermilk creates a tender texture, while cinnamon and vanilla add comforting flavor.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1½ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1½ teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1½ cups buttermilk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons melted butter, plus more for cooking
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon until well combined.
- In another bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs, vanilla extract, and melted butter until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes.
- Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter.
- Pour about ¼ cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles begin to form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2 to 3 minutes.
- Flip and cook the other side for another 1 to 2 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Transfer pancakes to a plate and keep warm while cooking the rest. Serve warm with butter, maple syrup, fresh berries, or your favorite toppings.
Notes
- For extra flavor, add a pinch of nutmeg or a bit of orange zest to the batter.
- If you don’t have buttermilk, you can make a quick substitute by mixing 1½ tablespoons of lemon juice or vinegar with 1½ cups of milk and letting it sit for 5 to 10 minutes.
- These pancakes can be frozen and reheated for quick weekday breakfasts.
