Fluffy Pancakes
Description
This Fluffy Pancakes recipe combines classic ingredients including buttermilk, flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, egg, and melted butter. The buttermilk reacts with the baking soda and powder to create a light rise, while the melted butter adds richness. The batter is mixed until smooth and left to rest for 10 minutes, allowing flour to hydrate for a better texture. Cooking in a medium-heated skillet creates golden-brown pancakes with a tender, airy crumb.
Bubbles appearing on the batter surface signal readiness to flip, ensuring even cooking on both sides without browning too quickly. These pancakes have a mild sweetness and classic flavor, suitable for a breakfast or brunch staple, served with syrup, fruit, or toppings as preferred.
Prepared pancakes can be stored with wax or parchment paper between layers to prevent sticking. They last 1-2 days at room temperature, 2-3 days refrigerated, or 2-3 months frozen. Reheat small portions in the microwave or larger amounts in the oven for best texture retention.
Ingredients
- ¾ cup buttermilk
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoons butter melted
Instructions
- Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl and mix. Set aside.
- Whisk egg and butter into the milk mixture and mix. Add flour mixture and whisk until lumps are gone. Let batter set for 10 minutes.
- Heat skillet to medium heat and spray with cooking spray. Pour ¼ cups of the batter onto the skillet and cook until bubbles appear on the top (2-3 minutes). Flip with a spatula and cook the other side until browned.
Notes
- Use wax or parchment paper between stacked cooked pancakes to prevent sticking during storage.
- Store pancakes at room temperature for 1-2 days, refrigerated for 2-3 days, or frozen for up to 3 months.
- Reheat small amounts in the microwave for convenience; larger batches reheat better in an oven.
