Here’s how you can whip up a batch of these mouthwatering pancakes in just about 15 minutes!
Ingredients:
- 3 large eggs
- 2 cups buttermilk
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- Optional toppings: Fresh bananas, raspberries, blueberries, and/or chocolate chips
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a large bowl, crack the eggs and lightly beat them until they’re well mixed.
-
-
Combine the Ingredients: Add the buttermilk, flour, salt, and baking soda to the egg mixture. Stir gently to combine. It’s important not to overmix the batter; a few lumps are okay. Overmixing can lead to dense pancakes rather than the light, thin ones we’re aiming for.
-
Incorporate the Butter: Melt the butter in a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add the melted butter to the pancake batter, stirring just enough to incorporate it.
-
Cook the Pancakes: Heat your griddle or skillet. If necessary, lightly butter it to prevent sticking. Pour small circles of batter onto the hot griddle. As the batter cooks, you can sprinkle a few pieces of fruit or chocolate chips on top of each pancake.
-
Flip and Serve: Once the edges of the pancakes start to look set and bubbles form on the surface, carefully flip them over. Cook for another minute or so until the other side is golden brown.
-
Add Toppings: Serve the pancakes warm with a dusting of icing sugar or a drizzle of maple syrup. For a truly indulgent treat, top them with caramel sauce and fresh fruit.
