Ingredients

Scale

1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
¾ cup buttermilk
¼ cup milk
1 large egg
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Cinnamon Sugar Coating:

1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Optional Toppings:

Whipped cream

Instructions

In a bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a separate bowl, mix buttermilk, milk, egg, vanilla, and melted butter.
Gently combine wet ingredients with dry ingredients until just mixed.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease.
Pour ¼ cup batter per pancake and cook until bubbles form, then flip and cook until golden.
Mix cinnamon and sugar in a shallow dish.
Brush warm pancakes with melted butter and coat with cinnamon sugar.

Do not overmix the batter to keep pancakes light and fluffy.
Brush pancakes with butter while warm so cinnamon sugar sticks.
