Ingredients
Pancake Batter
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- ¼ tsp ground nutmeg
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- maple syrup for serving
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the egg, buttermilk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until combined. Do not overmix — some lumps are okay.
- Heat a lightly greased skillet or griddle over medium heat.
- Pour 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2–3 minutes.

- Serve warm with maple syrup, fresh fruits, whipped cream, or powdered sugar for a festive touch.
Notes
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 1 month. Reheat in the microwave or toaster. Avoid overmixing the batter for fluffier pancakes.
