Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon white sugar
  • 1 1/4 cups buttermilk
  • 1 egg
  • 3 tablespoons butter, melted

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
  2. Make a well in the center and pour in the buttermilk, egg, and melted butter. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine.
  3. Let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes. This helps create fluffier pancakes.
  4. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium-high heat.
  5. Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 1/4 cup for each pancake.
  6. Cook until bubbles form on the surface of the pancake, then flip and cook until golden brown on the other side.
  7. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings.

Notes

  • For extra fluffy pancakes, ensure your baking powder is fresh.
  • If you don’t have buttermilk, you can make a substitute by adding 1 tablespoon of white vinegar or lemon juice to 1 1/4 cups of milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
  • Avoid overmixing the batter to keep your pancakes tender.
