The Perfect Blend of Ingredients
To make these scrumptious pancakes, you’ll need:
- 1 cup of soft, all-purpose bleached flour
- 2 teaspoons of sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon of salt (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda
- 3/4 cup of buttermilk (or instant buttermilk)
- 1/2 cup of milk (with a pinch less than 1/2 cup)
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- Cooking spray for your electric skillet, griddle, or frying pan
Preparing the Batter
Heat your electric skillet, griddle, or frying pan over low heat while you prepare the ingredients. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, salt (if using), baking powder, and baking soda.
Next, microwave the buttermilk and milk in a 2-cup Pyrex glass measuring cup for 20-30 seconds, or until they reach room temperature. Whisk in the egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
Combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients and mix for 30 seconds, or until just combined. Let the batter sit for about 15 minutes to allow the ingredients to meld together.
Cooking the Pancakes
Increase the heat to medium (or 375°F if using an electric skillet) and spray the surface with cooking spray. Pour the batter about 1/4 cup at a time, working in batches if necessary to avoid crowding.
When the pancake bottoms are golden brown and the tops start to bubble, flip them over and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown on both sides. Repeat the process, using cooking spray for each new batch.
Enjoy Your Delicious Pancakes!
