One of my absolute favourite foods of all...buttermilk pancakes! Butter, buttermilk, vanilla, and more butter once they're cooked...what could be more delish?
This is my go to recipe for pancakes. Hope you'll give it a whirl and enjoy!
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon white sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup buttermilk
3 tablespoons whole milk
1 egg
2 tablespoons butter, melted (28g)
1 tsp vanilla extract
optional: either in the batter or on top, how about trying blueberries or other fresh fruit, nuts, chocolate chips, etc.
In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a separate bowl, beat eggs, and then add buttermilk, milk, melted butter and vanilla. Keep the two mixtures separate until you are ready to cook.
Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium high heat. You can flick water across the surface and if it beads up and sizzles, it's ready!
Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture, using a whisk, wooden spoon, or fork to blend. Stir until it's just blended together. Add in any options (blueberries are a must in my household!) at this point. Do not over stir! Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 1/4 cup for each pancake. Brown on both sides and serve hot. I prefer mine with a dab of salted butter and dash of real maple syrup. Buon appetite!
P.S. This recipe is enough for 2 adults and 2 children. Double, triple, quadruple as necessary ;).
