Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 large egg
Leavening Agents:
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
Seasonings and Fats:
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
Instructions
- Sift dry ingredients in a spacious mixing vessel, ensuring uniform distribution of flour, leavening agents, and seasoning.
- Whisk wet components in a separate container, blending buttermilk, egg, and liquefied butter until achieving a silky consistency.
- Delicately merge wet and dry mixtures, stirring minimally to prevent dense texture; slight lumps are acceptable.
- Heat a non-stick griddle to medium temperature (approximately 375°F), applying a thin layer of cooking spray or butter.
- Ladle batter onto the heated surface, creating circular shapes with approximately 4-inch diameter.
- Monitor pancakes carefully; when small bubbles emerge across the surface and edges appear matte (about 2-3 minutes), gently flip using a wide spatula.
- Cook reverse side for an additional 60-90 seconds until achieving a golden-brown complexion and ensuring complete interior cooking.
- Transfer finished pancakes to a warm plate, maintaining temperature and preventing sogginess.
- Garnish with preferred accompaniments such as maple syrup, fresh berries, whipped cream, or powdered sugar, serving immediately for optimal taste and texture.
Notes
- Choose room temperature ingredients to ensure smooth blending and consistent pancake texture.
- Avoid overmixing the batter, which can create tough and dense pancakes; small lumps are perfectly fine.
- For gluten-free option, substitute all-purpose flour with a 1:1 gluten-free baking blend containing xanthan gum.
- Letting the batter rest for 5-10 minutes before cooking helps develop better flavor and allows flour to absorb liquid, resulting in fluffier pancakes.
