Treat yourself to breakfast bliss with these fluffy and tender Buttermilk Pancakes for One! Perfectly portioned to satisfy your solo morning cravings, this easy recipe comes together in just 15 minutes using pantry staples like all-purpose flour, sugar, and buttermilk. The secret to their irresistibly light texture lies in the combination of baking powder and baking soda, which creates the perfect rise. With a golden exterior and a soft, pillowy interior, these pancakes are ideal for layering with syrup, fresh fruit, or a dollop of whipped cream. Whether you're indulging in a leisurely weekend breakfast or a quick weekday treat, this small-batch recipe guarantees maximum flavor with minimal effort.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a separate small bowl or measuring cup, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, and melted butter until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should have small lumps.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with cooking spray or a small amount of butter.
Pour approximately 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Use the back of a spoon to gently spread the batter into a circle if needed.
Cook for 1-2 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface of the pancake and the edges look set.
Flip the pancake with a spatula and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown on the other side.
Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet lightly if necessary.
Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings such as syrup, fresh fruit, or a pat of butter.
