Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons ground cayenne pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 0.25 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 1.25 cups buttermilk
- 1 unit large egg
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil (for greasing the pan)
- 2 tablespoons fresh chopped chives (optional garnish)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cayenne pepper, smoked paprika, and black pepper until the dry ingredients are well combined.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, and melted butter until the mixture is smooth.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; it's okay if there are some small lumps.
Preheat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with vegetable oil using a paper towel.
Using a 1/4-cup measuring cup, pour the pancake batter onto the preheated skillet, spacing the pancakes about 2 inches apart.
Cook the pancakes for 2-3 minutes, or until you see bubbles form and pop on the surface and the edges appear set. Flip and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Transfer the finished pancakes to a plate and cover loosely with aluminum foil to keep warm while repeating the process with the remaining batter.
Serve the spicy country pancakes warm, garnished with fresh chopped chives if desired. These pancakes pair well with butter, sour cream, or even a drizzle of hot sauce for an extra kick!
