Equipment
- 2 Mixing Bowls Large and medium size
- 1 Whisk For mixing batter
- 1 Griddle or Skillet Non-stick, large size
- 1 Spatula Thin and flexible
- 1 Measuring Cups and Spoons For accurate measurements
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups All-purpose flour
- 3 ½ tsp Baking powder
- 1 tsp Baking soda
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 tbsp Granulated sugar
- 1 ¼ cups Buttermilk or substitute (see notes)
- 1 Large egg
- 2 tbsp Unsalted butter melted, plus more for griddle
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar until well combined.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, and melted butter until smooth.
- Gently pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Whisk just until just combined. It's okay if there are a few lumps – do not overmix!
- Heat a lightly oiled griddle or non-stick skillet over medium heat.
- Pour ¼ cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until bubbles start to form. Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes, until golden brown.
- Stack and serve immediately with your favorite toppings.
Notes

Make it Dairy-Free: Use non-dairy milk and dairy-free butter or coconut oil.
