Yield
Makes approximately 12 four-inch pancakes.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 1 1/4 cups buttermilk
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tbsp melted butter
- Snickers (or Milky Way) Popables, chopped (quantity to taste)
Instructions
-
Preparation:
- In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar. This will ensure your dry ingredients are well combined.
-
Prepare the Buttermilk Mixture:
- In a large measuring cup, combine the buttermilk and whole milk.
- Crack in the egg, then lightly beat the mixture with a fork, just enough to break up the yolk.
-
Incorporate Butter:
- Stir in the melted butter into the buttermilk mixture. This will add richness and flavor to your pancakes.
-
Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
- Pour the buttermilk mixture into the flour mixture.
- Stir gently, just until everything comes together. It’s okay to have some small lumps; overmixing can make your pancakes tough!
-
Add the Popables:
- Now, fold in the chopped Snickers (or Milky Way) Popables. ๐ซ
- Let the batter rest for 10-15 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld and the batter to relax.
-
Heat the Griddle:
- Grease a griddle or frying pan and heat over medium-high heat for about 2 minutes.
- Reduce the heat to medium once the griddle is hot and ready.
-
Cook the Pancakes:
- Using a ladle, pour about 1/4 cup of the batter onto the griddle for each pancake.
- Cook until you see tiny bubbles forming on the surface, and the bottoms are golden brown, around 2-3 minutes.
-
Flip and Brown:
- Carefully flip the pancakes to cook the other side, allowing them to brown for another 1-2 minutes.
-
Serve and Enjoy!
- Transfer your golden-brown pancakes to a plate.
- Serve them immediately with a dusting of powdered sugar, and drizzle with your choice of maple or chocolate syrup! ๐๐ซ
