Equipment

  • large mixing bowl

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 1/4 cups cultured buttermilk
  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Let’s walk through the steps to make your pancakes. This recipe is easy and friendly for both beginners and experienced cooks alike.

Step 1: Mix Wet Ingredients

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the vegetable oil, honey, and egg. Give it a good whisk until it’s nicely blended. Then, add the cultured buttermilk and the vanilla extract. Whisk again until everything is smooth.

Step 2: Combine Dry Ingredients

  • In another bowl, mix the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and ground cinnamon. This step ensures that ingredients are evenly distributed, so you get consistent flavor in every bite.

Step 3: Mix Wet and Dry

  • Pour the dry mixture into the wet ingredients. Stir just until combined. Be careful not to overmix; it’s okay if there are a few lumps. Overmixing can lead to tough pancakes.

Step 4: Preheat The Pan

  • Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. You want it hot enough that a few drops of water sizzle, but not so hot that you burn your pancakes.

Step 5: Cook the Pancakes

  • Ladle a generous amount of batter onto the skillet. Cook for about 2-3 minutes, until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip gently with a spatula and cook for another 2 minutes until golden brown.

Step 6: Serve It Up!

  • Transfer your pancakes to a plate. You can keep them warm in the oven on a low setting while you finish cooking the rest. Now, top them off with your choice of maple syrup, fruits, or whipped cream.

Notes

  • Use a Measuring Cup: This ensures uniform pancake sizes. Consistent sizes help with even cooking.
  • Don’t Rush the Heat: Let your skillet heat gradually. If it’s too hot, the pancakes will burn on the outside and remain raw inside.
  • Batch Cooking: Double or triple the recipe to freeze some pancakes for quick breakfasts later in the week.
  • Custom Toppings: Feel free to experiment! Add chocolate chips or nuts to the batter for a fun twist.
  • Fluffy Factor: Separate the egg white from the yolk. Whip the egg white until soft peaks form, then fold it into the batter for ultra-fluffy pancakes.
