Buttermilk Pancakes

Buttermilk pancakes are a breakfast favorite in our house. Sure you can buy decent pancake mix at the store, but when you make your own, I find they are far tastier and fluffier. Plus, they hardly take any more time to whip together than the boxed mix! 

Helpful Hint:  If you don't have fresh buttermilk (which I often don't) simply add 1 tbs. vinegar or lemon juice to 1 c. milk and sit 5-10 minutes to sour prior to using. Or, you can also use powdered buttermilk which you can find in the baking aisle of your local grocery store. 

1 1/4 c. Buttermilk 

2 tbs. butter, melted

1 egg 

1 c. all purpose flour 

2 tbs. sugar 

2 tsp. baking powder 

1/2 tsp. baking soda 

1/2 tsp. salt 

Butter or Non-stick cooking spray

• Heat a large, non stick griddle or skillet with butter or non stick cooking spray over medium heat. 
• Meanwhile, in a small mixing bowl, whisk together buttermilk with melted butter and egg to combine. 
• In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, powder, soda and salt. 
• Once combined, whisk buttermilk mixture into flour mixture until smooth. 
• Using a ladle, pour batter onto skillet spacing mounds apart so they do not cook together. 
• Flip once bubbles appear. Remove from pan once bottom is cooked. Serve hot.
