Description
Buttermilk pancakes have a special way of bringing warmth and joy to any morning. The combination of their fluffy texture, golden crust, and tangy flavor creates a breakfast experience that feels both indulgent and comforting.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 tbsp sugar
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1 large egg
- 2 cups buttermilk
- 1/4 cup melted butter (plus extra for the pan)
- Milk (optional, to adjust batter consistency if needed)
Instructions
- Prepare Your Ingredients: Measure out all ingredients to ensure a smooth process.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, and baking soda.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, and melted butter until fully combined.
- Create the Batter: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. The batter should have some lumps to prevent overmixing.
- Heat the Pan: Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.
- Cook the Pancakes: Scoop about 1/4 cup of batter onto the pan for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges appear set. Flip and cook the other side for another 1–2 minutes until golden brown.
- Serve Warm: Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, fresh berries, or whipped cream.
Notes
- Keep the Heat Steady: Maintain medium heat for even cooking.
- Avoid Overmixing: Stirring too much will make the pancakes tough.
- Check for Doneness: Pancakes should spring back when lightly pressed in the center.
