Description

Delicious and fluffy buttermilk pancakes perfect for breakfast.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 3 Tbsp canola oil or melted butter
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 Tbsp sugar

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together all the dry ingredients and make a well in the center.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients until smooth.
  3. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. The batter should be slightly lumpy—don’t overmix.
  4. Let the batter rest for about 10 minutes to allow it to thicken and the gluten to relax.
  5. Heat a lightly greased griddle or skillet over medium heat. Using a cookie or muffin scoop, pour the batter onto the hot surface.
  6. Cook until bubbles form on the top and the edges look set, then flip and cook the other side until golden brown. Serve warm.

Notes

  • Resting the batter helps create a softer pancake.
  • For extra flavor, consider adding vanilla extract or blueberries.
