- Preheat the Pan:
- Preheat a griddle or non-stick skillet over medium heat. If using a skillet, lightly grease it with cooking spray or butter.
- Prepare Dry Ingredients:
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Mix Wet Ingredients:
- In another bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, milk, egg, and melted butter.
- Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. It’s okay if there are a few lumps.
- Cook Pancakes:
- Pour 1/4 cup portions of batter onto the preheated griddle or skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface of the pancake and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
- Flip and Cook:
- Flip the pancakes with a spatula and cook the other side until golden brown, another 1-2 minutes.
- Repeat:
- Repeat the process with the remaining batter.
- Serve:
- Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, fresh fruit, whipped cream, or nuts.
Tips:
- For fluffier pancakes, avoid overmixing the batter. It’s okay if there are a few lumps.
- If you don’t have buttermilk, you can make a substitute by adding 1 tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice to 1 cup of milk. Let it sit for a few minutes before using.
- Adjust the thickness of the batter by adding more milk if needed.
Enjoy your homemade, fluffy pancakes!
