Fluffy Buttermilk Pancakes

Fluffy Buttermilk Pancakes

Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour

• 1 tbsp sugar

• 1 tsp baking powder

• ½ tsp baking soda

• ¼ tsp salt

• 1 cup buttermilk (or 1 cup milk mixed with 1 tbsp lemon juice)

• 1 large egg

• 2 tbsp melted butter (plus extra for the pan and topping)

• Maple syrup for serving

Instructions

1. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the egg, buttermilk, and melted butter together.

3. Combine: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spatula just until combined. Tip: Do not overmix; a few lumps in the batter are perfectly fine and keep the pancakes fluffy. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes.

4. Heat the Pan: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly coat it with a little butter or oil.

5. Cook: Pour about ¼ cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look dry (about 2 to 3 minutes).

6. Flip: Carefully flip the pancake and cook the other side until it turns a beautiful golden brown (about 1 to 2 minutes).

7. Serve: Stack them high on a plate, place a pat of butter right on top, and drizzle generously with maple syrup. Serve immediately while warm!
