Make the buttermilk . Pour the milk into a bowl and add in the apple cider vinegar. Stir and set aside for 5 minutes.
Make the batter. In a bowl combine the all purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and the salt. Stir to combine.
Sift the dry mixture through a sieve and into a bowl. Set aside.
Place the butter in a small bowl and cover. Melt in the microwave. Set aside and let it slightly cool.
Crack the room temperature egg into a bowl and whisk well.
Pour the melted butter into the bowl of egg. Whisk to combine.
Pour egg mixture into the buttermilk and whisk to combine.
Then add in the vanilla extract and whisk.
Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture. Whisk to combine. Do not overmix. Stop once you no longer see any more raw flour. Then let it rest for 10 to 15 minutes.
In a pan on medium-low heat, melt a tablespoon of UN-salted butter. If you use salted butter instead of UN-salted, you pancake may turn out too salty.
Then use a full 1/4 cup of batter and pour it into the pan.
Wait about 5 seconds then use a spatula to shape the pancake to form a perfect circle.
Flip the pancake once bubbles have formed toward the center of them. Once the bubbles have formed, hold the handle of the pan and swirl the pancake around the pan so that it can brown evenly. Check to see if the bottom of the pancakes have nicely browned first before flipping.
If so, flip them over and cook the other side for about a minute until it is browned as well. When done, transfer the pancake to a plate. Before you start cooking your next one, rinse you pan out with some water and use a paper towel to dry it. Then continue with your next pancake.
Then plate and top with your choice: butter, maple syrup, powdered sugar, jams, or fresh fruits
