Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp ground cardamom
- 1/4 tsp ground ginger
- 1/4 tsp ground cloves
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tbsp melted butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Butter or oil for cooking
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and chai spices (cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, cloves).
- In another bowl, whisk buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined; do not overmix. The batter should be slightly lumpy.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.
- Scoop about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
- Flip the pancakes and cook for another 2 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve warm with maple syrup, a pat of butter, or your favorite toppings.
Notes
For extra richness, add a splash of heavy cream to the batter or top pancakes with spiced whipped cream for a delicious treat.
