These fluffy pancakes are the perfect breakfast treat for your next sugar cookie bake-off. They are easy to make and guaranteed to impress your fellow bakers with their delightful texture and taste.

Ingredients: 1 cup all-purpose flour. 2 tablespoons granulated sugar. 1 teaspoon baking powder. 1/2 teaspoon baking soda. 1/4 teaspoon salt. 1 cup buttermilk. 1 large egg. 2 tablespoons melted butter. 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Cooking spray or extra butter for the pan.

Instructions: In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a separate bowl, beat the egg and mix it with buttermilk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-high heat and lightly grease it with cooking spray or butter. Pour 1/4 cup of the pancake batter onto the hot skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip the pancakes and cook until golden brown on both sides. Serve hot with your favorite toppings like maple syrup, fresh fruit, or whipped cream.
