Homemade Pancakes
Simple pantry ingredients come together quickly in this homemade pancake recipe, producing stacks with a golden exterior and a soft, fluffy center. Resting the batter for a few minutes before cooking helps the texture. They're ready in about 20 minutes and work equally well for breakfast or a weekend brunch.
Equipment
- Mixing Bowls
- Whisk
- Griddle or large nonstick skillet
- Spatula
- Measuring cups and spoons
Ingredients
For the Dry Components:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour preferably organic
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder fresh for best results
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt fine sea salt
For the Wet Components:
- 1 cup buttermilk room temperature
- 1 large egg room temperature
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter melted and cooled slightly
Instructions
- Prepare the Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
- Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the buttermilk and egg together. Add the melted butter and whisk until fully integrated.
- Combine the Ingredients: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Gently whisk until just combined; small lumps are okay. Overmixing will result in tougher pancakes.
- Cook the Pancakes: Preheat your griddle or nonstick skillet over medium heat (about 350°F or 175°C). Lightly grease with a small amount of butter or oil. Pour 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the hot surface. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook for another minute or until golden brown underneath.
Notes
- For an added twist, try incorporating a teaspoon of vanilla extract or a pinch of cinnamon into the batter.
- To make these pancakes gluten-free, substitute with a 1-to-1 gluten-free flour blend.
