Description

Light and tangy buttermilk pancakes that are fluffy and golden, perfect for any breakfast.


Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (about 125 g)
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup buttermilk (or 1 cup milk + 1 tablespoon white vinegar or lemon juice; let sit 5 minutes)
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter (plus more for the pan)
  • Optional toppings: maple syrup, fresh berries, sliced bananas, whipped cream, powdered sugar, nuts


Instructions

  1. Whisk the dry ingredients so the leaveners are evenly distributed.
  2. Combine wet ingredients, then fold them into the dry until just combined; a few lumps are fine.
  3. Let the batter rest briefly to hydrate the flour and let bubbles form.
  4. Cook on a preheated nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat, flipping once when bubbles appear.
  5. Keep finished pancakes warm in a low oven and serve immediately with your favorite toppings.

Notes

For best results, don’t overmix the batter and allow it to rest. Adjust heat as needed for perfect cooking.
