Ingredients

  • ¾ cup milk
  • 2 tsp white vinegar
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour 5 ounces
  • 2 TBSP sugar
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 egg large
  • 2 TBSP avocado oil or vegetable oil plus extra for cooking
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract pure

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. First let's make a faux buttermilk. Add 2 teaspoons of vinegar (plain white or apple cider vinegar) to 3/4 cup milk and allow to sit while you measure out the remaining ingredients.
  2. Whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl.
  3. In a second bowl, whisk together egg and 2 TBSP oil until well combined. Add milk mixture and vanilla and mix well.
  4. Add wet mixture to the dry ingredients and stir gently with a whisk until just combined, careful not to overmix. Batter should be lumpy still. Allow to rest for 10 minutes to up the fluff factor of the batter.
  5. Place approx ½ teaspoon of oil on a griddle or nonstick skillet. When oil begins to shimmer, use a ¼ cup measuring cup to ladle batter onto griddlle/skillet.
  6. Adjust heat as necessary.
  7. I've noticed that typically the first batch requires higher heat than following batches. Flip pancakes after bubbles rise to surface and bottoms brown, after 2 to 3 minutes. Cook remaining side approx 1-2 minuets until lightly golden.
  8. Repeat for remaining pancakes and enjoy with fresh fruit and maple syrup.

Notes

  • Yields about eight 4-inch pancakes; larger pancakes can be made by adjusting cooking times.
  • An electric griddle can speed up making several pancakes simultaneously.
  • Estimated nutrition facts per pancake are approximate; adjust ingredients as needed.
