Method

Hot Cakes Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Batter

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.

  2. 2

    Combine Wet Ingredients

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and eggs until smooth.

  3. 3

    Combine Mixtures

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold until just combined. Do not overmix; some lumps are fine.

  4. 4

    Heat the Pan

    Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter, allowing it to melt and coat the surface.

  5. 5

    Cook the Hot Cakes

    Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each hot cake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set (about 2-3 minutes). Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.

  6. 6

    Keep Warm

    Transfer the cooked hot cakes to a warm plate or keep them in a low oven (200°F or 90°C) while you cook the remaining batter.

Toppings & Sides Preparation

  1. 7

    Cook the Bacon/Sausage/Ham

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy, or cook the sausage links and ham slices until fully cooked through. Set aside to drain on paper towels.

  2. 8

    Cook the Eggs

    If serving eggs, you can fry, scramble, or poach them according to your preference.

  3. 9

    Serve

    Stack the hot cakes on plates, top with butter, and drizzle with maple syrup. Serve with cooked bacon, sausage links, ham, or eggs on the side. Optionally, sprinkle with powdered sugar before serving.
