Ingredients: What You'll Need

Let's gather all the essential ingredients for these delightful pancakes.

1 cup (120g) of all-purpose flour.

2 tablespoons of granulated sugar.

2 teaspoons of baking powder.

1/2 teaspoon of baking soda.

1/4 teaspoon of salt.

3/4 cup (180ml) of buttermilk.

1/4 cup (60ml) of whole milk.

1 large egg, beaten.

2 tablespoons of unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled.

1 teaspoon of vanilla extract (optional).

Cooking oil or additional melted butter for the pan.

Making Your Fluffy Pancakes

Let's get your morning started with these fluffy pancakes:

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. This ensures all the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.

In another bowl, combine the buttermilk, whole milk, beaten egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract (if using). Mix them until well combined.

Pour the wet mixture into the bowl of dry ingredients. Stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; it's perfectly fine if there are a few lumps in the batter.

Preheat a skillet or griddle over medium-high heat and lightly grease it with cooking oil or melted butter.

Once the skillet is hot, ladle 1/4 cup (60ml) portions of the pancake batter onto the skillet. You can make your pancakes as large or small as you like.

Cook the pancakes until you see bubbles forming on the surface, usually about 2-3 minutes.

Carefully flip the pancakes with a spatula and cook for another 1-2 minutes on the other side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.

Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate and keep them warm while you cook the remaining batter.

Serving Your Fluffy Pancakes

Your fluffy pancakes are now ready to be served. Stack them high, drizzle with maple syrup, sprinkle with fresh berries, or add a dusting of powdered sugar - the choice is yours.

Whether you enjoy them as a leisurely weekend breakfast or a quick weekday treat, these pancakes will certainly make your mornings a little brighter.
