Instructions
Step 1: Make the Batter
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In another bowl, whisk together buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined.
The batter should be slightly lumpy—don’t overmix!
Step 2: Preheat the Skillet
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat.
Add a small pat of butter and let it melt, coating the pan.
Step 3: Cook and Scramble
Pour about ½ cup of batter into the skillet.
Let it cook for 1–2 minutes until bubbles start to form.
Then, using a spatula, gently scramble or break up the batter into large, fluffy chunks.
Flip and move the pieces around, cooking for another 1–2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
Step 4: Serve
Pile the scrambled pancakes onto plates.
Top with maple syrup, berries, whipped cream, or any of your favorite toppings!
Notes
Don’t Overmix the Batter – Keeps the pancakes tender and fluffy.
Cook on Medium Heat – Too high and they’ll brown before cooking inside.
Use Plenty of Butter – Adds flavor and helps create golden edges.
Work in Batches – Scramble a little at a time for best texture.
Customize – Stir mini chocolate chips, blueberries, or cinnamon into the batter.
