Stack of fluffy homemade pancakes

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon 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 (plus extra for the pan)

Instructions:

  1. Start by mixing the dry ingredients together in a large bowl: flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir them well so that all of those flavors combine.
  2. In another bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, and melted butter. Make sure your butter isn’t too hot, y’all, or it’ll cook the egg!
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. Don’t over-mix; a few lumps are okay. We want those pancakes fluffy!
  4. Now, let’s get your skillet or griddle preheated over medium heat, and lightly grease it with some butter.
  5. Once it’s hot, pour about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the skillet. Cook until you see bubbles forming on the surface and the edges look set (about 2-3 minutes).
  6. Flip those pancakes and cook for another 2 minutes on the other side, until they’re golden brown and oh-so-fluffy!
  7. Serve them warm with your favorite toppings—syrup, fresh fruit, or even a sprinkle of powdered sugar. Dive in, y’all!

That’s it, folks! Homemade pancakes that will make anyone’s breakfast experience a whole lot sweeter. Pull out that syrup, grab a fork, and enjoy every last bite. You’ll never want to go back to store-bought after trying these beauties!
