Ingredients
Instructions
-
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, and melted butter until smooth.
-
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes.
-
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a small amount of butter or oil to coat the surface.
-
Using a ladle or measuring cup, pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook for another minute or until golden brown.
-
Transfer the cooked pancakes to a warm plate and cover with a clean kitchen towel to keep them warm while you cook the remaining batter.
-
Serve the pancakes hot with your favorite toppings, such as fresh berries, sliced bananas, chocolate chips, or a generous drizzle of maple syrup.
