Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup (180 milliliters) buttermilk
- 1 large egg
Leavening Agents:
- 2 tablespoons (25 grams) granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon (5 grams) baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 grams) baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon (1.25 grams) salt
Additional Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) unsalted butter, melted
- Cooking spray or additional butter for the pan
Serving:
- Pure maple syrup
- Fresh berries or sliced bananas (optional)
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients and equipment: mixing bowls, whisk, griddle or non-stick pan, and spatula.
- Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large mixing bowl, whisking thoroughly to distribute ingredients evenly.
- In a separate bowl, blend buttermilk, egg, and melted butter until well incorporated.
- Create pancake batter by gently pouring wet ingredients into dry ingredients, stirring minimally to prevent overmixing; small lumps are acceptable.
- Heat griddle or non-stick pan to medium temperature (around 375°F), lightly greasing surface with cooking spray or butter.
- Ladle approximately 1/4 cup batter onto heated surface for each pancake, allowing natural bubbles to form across the surface.
- Carefully flip pancakes when bubbles become prominent and edges appear slightly dry, cooking an additional 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
- Transfer cooked pancakes to serving plate, creating a warm stack.
- Drizzle generously with pure maple syrup, optionally garnishing with fresh berries or sliced bananas.
- Serve immediately while pancakes remain warm and fluffy, enjoying the perfect breakfast indulgence.
Notes
- Swap buttermilk with yogurt or plant-based milk for a dairy-free alternative that maintains fluffy texture.
- Add mashed bananas or applesauce to reduce butter content and create a healthier pancake version.
- Rest pancake batter for 5-10 minutes before cooking to allow flour to absorb liquids, resulting in lighter, more tender pancakes.
- Use room temperature ingredients to ensure smooth mixing and consistent batter texture, preventing lumps and promoting even cooking.
