Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (120g)
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar (60g)
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp kosher salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 2/3 cup buttermilk, room temperature (full-fat preferred; nonfat will also work) (152g)
  • 1 large egg, at room temperature (50g)
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly (28g)

Instructions

  1. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, powdered sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and kosher salt until well combined.
  2. Add Wet Ingredients: Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the room temperature buttermilk and egg. Beat gently until combined, then slowly incorporate the dry ingredients to form a lumpy batter with a few streaks remaining.
  3. Incorporate Butter: Finally, stir in the melted and slightly cooled unsalted butter until the batter is fully incorporated and smooth, but still thick.
  4. Heat Pan: Preheat a pan over medium-low heat. Lightly grease the surface to prevent sticking and then increase the heat to medium.
  5. Cook Pancakes: Pour about 1/4 cup or less of batter at a time into the pan. Because the batter is very thick, it may be hard to pour. Cook the pancakes for about 2-3 minutes on the first side until bubbles form and edges look set, then flip and cook for 1-2 more minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
  6. Serve or Keep Warm: Serve the pancakes immediately or place the cooked pancakes on a baking sheet in a 200°F (93°C) oven to keep warm until ready to serve.

Notes

  • Use full-fat buttermilk for the richest flavor, but nonfat works in a pinch.
  • Ensure your egg and buttermilk are at room temperature to help with proper batter mixing.
  • Do not overmix the batter; lumps are okay and keep the pancakes tender.
  • Adjust cooking time depending on your stove and pan thickness to avoid burning or undercooking.
  • Keep cooked pancakes warm in a low oven while finishing the batch for optimal serving temperature.
