Classic Fluffy Buttermilk Pancakes ingredients

• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 tbsp granulated sugar
• 1.5 tsp baking powder
• 0.5 tsp baking soda
• 0.25 tsp salt
• 1 large egg
• 1.25 cups buttermilk
• 3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
• 1 tsp vegetable oil

How to make Classic Fluffy Buttermilk Pancakes

1. In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: 1.5 cups all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, 1.5 teaspoons baking powder, 0.5 teaspoon baking soda, and 0.25 teaspoon salt until well combined.
2. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients: 1 large egg, 1.25 cups buttermilk, and 3 tablespoons melted unsalted butter until smooth.
3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a whisk or spatula until just combined. The batter should be slightly lumpy; do not overmix, as this can make the pancakes tough.
4. Heat a large non-stick griddle or skillet over medium heat. Lightly brush or wipe the surface with 1 teaspoon vegetable oil.
5. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the hot griddle, leaving some space between each.
6. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until bubbles appear on the surface of the pancakes and the edges look set. The underside should be golden brown.
7. Carefully flip the pancakes with a spatula and cook for another 1-2 minutes on the second side, until golden brown and cooked through.
8. Transfer cooked pancakes to a plate and serve immediately with your favorite toppings like maple syrup, fresh fruit, or whipped cream. Repeat with the remaining batter, oiling the griddle as needed.
