Ingredients
  

1 cup all-purpose flour

2 tablespoons brown sugar

1 tablespoon granulated sugar

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 cup buttermilk (or regular milk with 1 tablespoon vinegar)

1 large egg

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (plus extra for cooking)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Maple syrup, for serving

Optional: Fresh fruit (like bananas or berries) for topping

Instructions
 

Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, sift together the flour, brown sugar, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon. Make sure everything is well combined to prevent clumps.

    Prepare Wet Ingredients: In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.

      Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently mix until just combined; it's okay if there are a few lumps. Be careful not to overmix, as this can lead to dense pancakes.

        Preheat the Griddle: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add a little butter to coat the surface, ensuring the pancakes don’t stick.

          Cook Pancakes: Once the skillet is hot enough, ladle about 1/4 cup of the pancake batter per pancake onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface (about 2-3 minutes). Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until golden brown on both sides.

            Keep Warm: Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate and cover them loosely with aluminum foil to keep them warm while you finish cooking the rest.

              Serve: Stack the pancakes on plates, drizzle with maple syrup, and add optional fresh fruit or more brown sugar for extra sweetness. Enjoy your delightful breakfast!
