Dry Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 teaspoons Baking Powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
- 2 Cups Flour (sifted)
- 2 Tablespoons Sugar
Wet Ingredients
- 2 Eggs (slightly whisked)
- 2 Cups Buttermilk
- 2 Tablespoons Butter (unsalted and melted)
- Preheat Griddle: Preheat a griddle to medium heat to ensure even cooking and golden pancake surfaces.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the salt, baking powder, baking soda, flour, and sugar until well combined.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and buttermilk to combine thoroughly.
- Combine Ingredients: Using a wooden spoon, create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet ingredients. Stir the mixture until it is almost fully combined, leaving some streaks of flour.
- Add Butter: Add the melted butter to the batter and gently fold it in to incorporate without overmixing.
- Avoid Overmixing: Be careful not to mix too much as this will make the pancakes flat and tough; a few streaks of flour remaining is ideal.
- Prepare Griddle: Butter the griddle lightly to prevent sticking and to add flavor.
- Cook Pancakes: Scoop about 1/3 cup of batter onto the griddle. Cook until bubbles begin to form on the surface, then flip the pancake and cook until the other side is golden brown.
- Serve: Serve the pancakes immediately while warm for best taste and texture.
Notes
- Use fresh buttermilk for the best flavor and tenderness.
- Do not overmix the batter to keep pancakes fluffy.
- If you don’t have a griddle, a non-stick skillet can be used instead.
- Butter keeps the pancakes from sticking and adds a rich flavor to the crust.
- Serve with maple syrup, fresh fruits, or your favorite toppings.
