In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons of sugar, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda, and a pinch of salt.

In another bowl, whisk together 1 cup of buttermilk, 1 large room temperature egg, and 2 tablespoons of melted butter until smooth and creamy.

Carefully fold the wet mixture into the dry ingredients using a spatula. Stir gently until just combined.

Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with a bit of butter or oil.

Pour about 1/4 cup of pancake batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until bubbles form.

Gently flip each pancake and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.

Transfer the pancakes to a warm plate and serve with your choice of toppings.
