Ingredients
- ¾ cup milk
- 2 tsp white vinegar
- 1 cup all purpose flour (5 ounces)
- 2 TBSP sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 large egg
- 2 TBSP avocado oil or vegetable oil plus extra for cooking
- ½ tsp pure vanilla extract
Instructions
- First let's make a faux buttermilk. Add 2 teaspoons of vinegar (plain white or apple cider vinegar) to 3/4 cup milk and allow to sit while you measure out the remaining ingredients.
- Whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl.
- In a second bowl, whisk together egg and 2 TBSP oil until well combined. Add milk mixture and vanilla and mix well.
- Add wet mixture to the dry ingredients and stir gently with a whisk until just combined, careful not to overmix. Batter should be lumpy still. Allow to rest for 10 minutes to up the fluff factor of the batter.
- Place approx ½ teaspoon of oil on a griddle or nonstick skillet. When oil begins to shimmer, use a ¼ cup measuring cup to ladle batter onto griddlle/skillet.
- Adjust heat as necessary.
- I've noticed that typically the first batch requires higher heat than following batches. Flip pancakes after bubbles rise to surface and bottoms brown, after 2 to 3 minutes. Cook remaining side approx 1-2 minuets until lightly golden.
- Repeat for remaining pancakes and enjoy with fresh fruit and maple syrup.

Notes
- Recipe yields approx. eight 4-inch pancakes. If you'd like to make just a few larger pancakes instead, go for it! Simply adjust cook times as needed.
- I have an electric griddle I use for pancakes and love it dearly. If pancakes are part of your regular weekend routine and you want to be able to make several at once, they're a fantastic purchase and total timesaver.
