Crisp and Fluffy Grandad’s Pancakes
You won’t believe how easy it is to whip up a batch of these gorgeous pancakes that are practically begging to be topped with syrup, fruit, or maybe even a mountain of whipped cream. They’re also the perfect excuse to hit snooze a few more times since breakfast won’t take long to prepare!
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
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Be sure to mix it well, so the baking powder can work its magic!
- In a separate bowl, combine the buttermilk, unsalted butter, egg, and vanilla extract. Mix well until combined. Don’t worry; it can get a little friendly in there!
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir lightly until just combined. Remember, lumps are not the enemy—overmixing is! We want fluffy, not dense.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or oil, because we like our pancakes golden, not sticky.
- Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface (about 2-3 minutes), then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown. Stand back and let the flipping commence!
- Serve these beauties warm with toppings galore—syrup, berries, or even a sprinkle of powdered sugar if you want to feel fancy. Enjoy!
Now that you’ve mastered the art of pancake flipping, gather your friends and family around the breakfast table. Trust me, they will think you’ve been holding out on them for years! Grandad’s pancakes are not just a meal; they’re a reason to celebrate. Happy cooking!
