Old-Fashioned Pancakes Recipe

Indulge in the classic charm of old-fashioned pancakes with this delightful recipe. These pancakes are light, fluffy, and perfect for a cozy breakfast or brunch. Follow the simple steps and savor the timeless taste of homemade goodness.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 1 large egg
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• Cooking spray or additional butter for greasing the pan

Directions:

1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
2. In a separate bowl, beat the egg and then add the buttermilk and melted butter. Mix well.
3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
4. Heat a griddle or non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly coat with cooking spray or butter.
5. Spoon 1/4 cup of batter onto the griddle for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook the other side until golden brown.
6. Repeat until all the batter is used, adjusting the heat as needed to prevent burning.
7. Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings, such as maple syrup, fresh fruit, or whipped cream.

Tips and Quick Process:

• For extra fluffiness, let the pancake batter rest for a few minutes before cooking.
• If you don’t have buttermilk, you can make a substitute by mixing 1 cup of milk with 1 tablespoon of white vinegar or lemon juice. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
• Experiment with add-ins like chocolate chips, blueberries, or chopped nuts for a delicious twist.
• To keep pancakes warm while cooking the batch, preheat your oven to 200°F (93°C) and place cooked pancakes on a baking sheet inside until ready to serve.
