Ingredients

  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 3 tsp baking powder
  • 1 1/2 cup flour
  • 4 tbsp sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 1/2 cup buttermilk
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter melted

Instructions

  • Sift the flour, salt, baking powder, and sugar into a bowl and mix with a whisk.
  • Make a slight indent in the middle of the dry ingredients using your fist. Then crack the egg into the middle.
  • Lightly whisk the egg and add the melted butter and buttermilk. Mix until well blended.
  • Scoop out 1/4 cup of the batter onto a greased pan or griddle and cook for about 1-2 minutes over medium heat. Tip: a good way to know when your pancake is ready to flip is when you see bubbles form at the top of the unflipped pancake.
  • Serve warm with syrup and berries, or any topping of your choice.

Notes

  • Make your own buttermilk- If you haven’t got buttermilk, make your own by combining 1 1/2 cups of milk with 1 1/2 tablespoons of vinegar and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
  • Don’t overwork the batter- Only mix the batter as much as needed to combine it. Overworking the batter will cause the pancakes to be flat and dense.
  • Flip when you see bubbles- Make sure there are a number of bubbles and the pancake easily lifts from the skillet before flipping it. You’re looking for a golden brown color.
  • Cool them properly- Place the pancakes on a cooling rack if they won’t be eaten right away. This allows the steam to disperse so the bottom doesn’t get soggy, as it would sitting on a plate.
