Pancake Batter

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Batter

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

  2. 2

    Combine Wet Ingredients

    In a separate bowl, mix the buttermilk, egg, and melted butter until well combined.

  3. 3

    Mix Wet and Dry

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

  4. 4

    Heat the Griddle

    Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter if necessary.

  5. 5

    Cook the Pancakes

    Pour 1/3 cup of batter for each pancake onto the hot griddle. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook until golden brown on the other side, about 2-3 minutes per side.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the pancakes warm with whipped butter and syrup on top.
