Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1.25 cups buttermilk
  • 1 large egg
  • 3 tablespoons melted butter

Equipment

  • Griddle or skillet

Method
 

  1. Whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder, and baking soda in a bowl.
  2. In another bowl, whisk the buttermilk, egg, and melted butter, then stir into the dry ingredients just until combined (lumps are fine).
  3. Pour 1/4-cup portions onto a greased griddle over medium heat.
  4. Flip when bubbles form and the edges set, then cook until golden. Serve with butter and syrup.

Notes

Don't overmix - a lumpy batter makes fluffier pancakes. Let the batter rest 5 minutes before cooking for extra height.
