Fluffy Buttermilk Pancakes for Two
Description
Fluffy Buttermilk Pancakes for Two combines all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt with buttermilk, egg yolk, melted butter, and vanilla to form a thick batter. Incorporating whipped egg whites folded in last creates a lift that results in a light, fluffy pancake. Cooking on a medium-heat griddle gives a nicely browned surface with tender centers. The recipe highlights careful flour measuring to avoid dense batter resembling cookie dough.
These pancakes are well suited to breakfast for two or a cozy snack, and toppings such as syrup, fruit, or butter complement their mild sweet flavor. The recipe notes suggest weighing flour or using the spoon and sweep method for accurate measurement, and share a tip for substituting buttermilk by souring milk with lemon juice.
Ingredients
Special Equipment
- Handheld electric mixer
Pancakes
- 1 cup all-purpose flour measured by weight or using the spoon and sweep method, 120g
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt *
- 3/4 cup buttermilk *
- 1 egg separated, large
- 2 tablespoons butter melted and slightly cooled, unsalted
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- cooking spray for pan greasing, or a little butter
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together buttermilk, egg yolk, butter, and vanilla. Add flour mixture and stir until just combined--batter will look a little thick.
- Heat griddle to 350°F or skillet to medium heat.
- While your griddle heats, in a small bowl, with a handheld electric mixer, beat egg white on high until stiff peaks form--the egg should be bright white, and when beaters are lifted out, peaks should stand straight up.
- Fold egg white into the batter with a baking spatula, being careful not to overmix and deflate the egg.
- Once your cooking surface is hot, lightly grease, and drop on slightly heaping 1/3 cups full of batter (if making in a skillet, you will have to cook in two batches) and cook until bubbles begin to form on the surface of your pancakes. Flip and cook until done.
- Add your favorite toppings and enjoy!
Notes
- Measure flour by weight or use the spoon and sweep method for best texture.
- If using salted butter, reduce added salt to 1/8 teaspoon.
- To create buttermilk substitute, add 1 tablespoon lemon juice to milk, let sit 5 minutes before using.
