Pancakes

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

  2. 2

    Combine Wet Ingredients

    In another bowl, mix the buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.

  3. 3

    Combine Mixtures

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

  4. 4

    Add Flavorings

    Fold in chocolate chips or your choice of fresh fruit (strawberries, blueberries, or banana) gently into the batter.

  5. 5

    Cook the Pancakes

    Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with cooking spray or additional melted butter. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake and cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve pancakes warm, topped with whipped cream and a dusting of powdered sugar.
