These light and fluffy pancakes are perfect for breakfast or brunch. Serve them with your favorite toppings like maple syrup, fresh fruit, or whipped cream.
Ingredients
- 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup (240ml) buttermilk (or milk with 1 tablespoon vinegar added)
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (plus extra for cooking)
- Optional toppings: maple syrup, fresh berries, sliced bananas, whipped cream, or chocolate chips
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Batter
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, and melted butter until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
Step 2: Heat the Pan
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add a small amount of butter to coat the surface.
Step 3: Cook the Pancakes
- Once the skillet is hot, pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
- Carefully flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Step 4: Serve
- Remove the pancakes from the skillet and keep warm in a low oven while you cook the remaining batter.
- Serve the pancakes warm with your choice of toppings such as maple syrup, fresh fruit, or whipped cream.
Tips
- For extra flavor, consider adding vanilla extract or cinnamon to the batter.
- If you prefer thicker pancakes, let the batter sit for a few minutes before cooking.
- To keep pancakes warm, place them on a baking sheet in a preheated oven at 200°F (95°C) while you finish cooking the rest.
Enjoy your delicious homemade pancakes!
