Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup buttermilk
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
- cooking spray or additional butter for greasing
Instructions
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.
