Pancakes Recipe
Equipment
- Mixing bowls
- Whisk
- Griddle or non-stick skillet
- Ladle or measuring cup
- Spatula
- Pancake turner or flipper
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup buttermilk
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Chocolate chips, blueberries, or chopped nuts Optional Add-ins
Instructions
Prepare the Dry Ingredients:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk the dry ingredients together until well combined.
Prepare the Wet Ingredients:
- In another bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
- Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
Optional Add-ins:
- If you're adding chocolate chips, blueberries, or nuts, gently fold them into the batter.
Preheat the Griddle or Skillet:
- Preheat your griddle or non-stick skillet over medium heat. You can test if it's hot enough by sprinkling a few drops of water – if they sizzle, it's ready.
Cook the Pancakes:
- Grease the griddle or skillet with a little butter or cooking spray. Use a ladle or measuring cup to pour the batter onto the hot surface, forming circles. Cook until bubbles form on the surface of the pancake, then flip and cook the other side until golden brown.
Serve:
- Once cooked, transfer the pancakes to a plate. Repeat until all the batter is used.
Enjoy:
- Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings like maple syrup, fresh fruit, or whipped cream.
Equipment Care:
- Clean your equipment, including the griddle or skillet, promptly after use.
