Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup (120 grams) all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons (25 grams) sugar
- 2 teaspoons (8 grams) baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon (2 grams) baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon (1.5 grams) salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) buttermilk
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) melted butter, plus extra for cooking
Instructions
- Gather Ingredients: Collect all the necessary ingredients and have them ready for a smooth cooking process.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined, ensuring even distribution of the leavening agents.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then add the buttermilk and melted butter, mixing thoroughly to blend all wet components.
- Create the Batter: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently fold them together using a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are fine to keep the pancakes tender and fluffy.
- Cook Pancakes: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly brush with melted butter. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip the pancakes and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden and cooked through.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve the pancakes hot with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, fresh fruits, or whipped cream for a delightful breakfast experience.
Notes
- Do not overmix the batter to maintain fluffiness.
- Preheat the skillet properly to ensure even cooking and browning.
- Adjust the heat as needed to avoid burning the pancakes.
- For extra fluffy pancakes, let the batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking.
- Use fresh buttermilk for best flavor and texture.
