Homemade Pancakes with Fresh Fruit
Nothing beats the satisfaction of flipping a pancake just right. Here’s how to make pancakes that are light, fluffy, and utterly delightful!
Ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup buttermilk (or milk with a splash of vinegar)
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- Fresh fruit (berries, banana, etc.) for topping
- Maple syrup for drizzling
Instructions:
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined. This will ensure your pancakes rise nicely.
- In another bowl, mix the buttermilk, egg, and melted butter together. Make sure it’s thoroughly combined to get that creamy texture.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are perfectly fine.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with a bit of butter or cooking spray. You want it hot but not smoking!
- Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook until the other side is golden brown, another 1-2 minutes.
- Repeat until all the batter is used, keeping the pancakes warm in a low oven if needed.
- Serve the pancakes stacked high, topped with fresh fruit and drizzled with maple syrup. Enjoy the deliciousness!
Gather around the table and enjoy these delightful pancakes fresh off the griddle. The combination of fluffy pancakes and vibrant fresh fruit is sure to bring joy to everyone. Happy Pancake Day!
