Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons sugar (granulated)
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons butter (unsalted, melted)

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Whisk
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Non-stick Skillet or Griddle
  • Spatula

Method
 

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together until well blended.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, and melted butter until fully combined.
  3. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet mixture. Gently stir until just combined.
  4. Place a non-stick skillet over medium heat and allow it to preheat.
  5. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes.
  6. Flip the pancake and cook for an additional 2 minutes or until golden brown.
  7. Serve warm with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup or fresh fruit.

Notes

  • For a dairy-free option, substitute buttermilk with almond milk and add a tablespoon of vinegar.
  • To make them whole wheat, replace all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
