  • In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, butter, and vanilla until combined.
  • Add the wet ingredients to the dry and stir it together until combined, do not overmix. If it seems a little too thick, add another tablespoon of buttermilk. Let the batter sit for 5 minutes.
  • Place a nonstick skillet on the stove over medium heat. Spray lightly with cooking spray.
  • Pour or scoop ¼ cup of the batter onto the skillet. Gently spread out the batter.
