Description
Tall and tender pancakes with a delicate tang from buttermilk, perfect for a cozy brunch or breakfast.
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- Cooking spray or additional butter for the pan
Instructions
- Preheat a heavy skillet or electric griddle over medium heat and grease lightly.
- Mix dry ingredients in a bowl: flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Mix wet ingredients in another bowl: buttermilk, egg, and melted butter.
- Combine wet and dry mixtures, stirring gently until just combined; it’s okay if the batter is lumpy.
- Rest the batter for 5 minutes if possible.
- Spoon about 1/4 cup batter per pancake onto the heated surface.
- Watch for bubbles to form across the surface; cook for 2–3 minutes.
- Flip and cook for another 1–2 minutes until golden.
- Keep pancakes warm in a 200°F oven while cooking the rest.
- Serve immediately with your choice of toppings.
Notes
For a lighter texture, ensure not to overmix the batter and use room temperature ingredients.
