Servings: 12 pancakes
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 large egg, slightly beaten
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 2 cups buttermilk
- Cooking spray
- Butter (for serving)
- Maple syrup (for serving)
- More of your favorite toppings (for serving) I like powdered sugar and berries. Chocolate chips and chopped walnuts are good too.
Instructions
Combine the Ingredients
- In a mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and baking soda. Mix well.
- In a separate bowl, combine beaten egg, vegetable oil, and buttermilk. Stir until well mixed.
- Add the liquid mixture to the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined, avoiding overmixing. Small lumps in the batter are okay.
- Allow the batter to rest for 5 minutes to let the baking powder and baking soda begin adding air bubbles to the mix. This is important for the texture.
Cooking The Ingredients
- Heat a griddle or skillet over medium heat. Spray with cooking spray.
- Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, scoop out the batter and pour it onto the hot skillet. The batter should be thick but easy to pour. If it seems thin, stir in a spoonful of flour until it seems the right consistency.
- Cook each pancake for 1-2 minutes on each side. Flip when bubbles form and pop on the surface.
- Serve warm pancakes with your favorite toppings.
Notes
- Patience is key; avoid overmixing the batter and let it rest before cooking.
- Watch the heat of the skillet to prevent burning or undercooking.
- Do not flatten the pancakes while cooking.
- Use the specified ingredients for the best fluffy texture.
- Allow pancakes to cook through before flipping to avoid a mess.
