Scale
Ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (120g)
- 2 tbsp sugar (25g)
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda

Instructions
- Make the batter: Whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In another bowl, mix buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla. Combine wet and dry ingredients until just mixed (do not overmix).
- Heat skillet: Place a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.

- Cook & flip: Cook 45–60 seconds until bubbles form, then flip carefully and cook until golden.

Notes
- If batter is too thick, thin with a splash of milk.
- Cook in small batches to avoid overcrowding.
- Keep finished pancakes warm in a low oven while cooking the rest.
- Store leftovers in the fridge for 3 days or freeze for 1 month.
- Reheat in a skillet for best crispness.
