Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/4 cups buttermilk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons melted butter or vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions:
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk the buttermilk, egg, melted butter or oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Create the Batter: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture. Stir gently until just combined. Avoid over-mixing, as it can make the pancakes dense. It’s okay if there are a few lumps in the batter.
- Heat the Pan: Place a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a small amount of butter or oil. Once hot, pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake.
- Cook the Pancakes: Let the pancakes cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until golden brown on the other side.
- Serve: Stack the pancakes on a plate and top them with fresh berries, maple syrup, or a dollop of whipped cream. Enjoy!
Tips for Fluffy Buttermilk Pancakes:
- Use Fresh Buttermilk: Buttermilk adds a subtle tanginess and helps make pancakes tender and fluffy. If you don’t have buttermilk, you can make a substitute by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk, then let it sit for a few minutes.
- Don’t Overmix: Stir the batter just until the ingredients are combined. Over-mixing can result in tough pancakes.
- Cook on Medium Heat: A medium heat setting allows the pancakes to cook through evenly without burning the outside.
Health Benefits of Buttermilk Pancakes
While buttermilk pancakes are an indulgence, they can be enjoyed as part of a balanced diet. Buttermilk is lower in fat than regular milk and contains beneficial probiotics that support gut health. By using wholesome ingredients and cooking at home, you can avoid preservatives and extra sugars found in store-bought pancake mixes.
