- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

- Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, mix the buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; some lumps are fine.
