Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 1 large egg
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• Additional butter for cooking
• Maple syrup for serving
• Fresh mint leaves for garnish

How to Make Fluffy Buttermilk Pancakes

1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
2. In another bowl, mix the buttermilk, egg, and melted butter until smooth.
3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently stir until just combined; it’s okay if there are a few lumps.
4. Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a small amount of butter to coat the surface.
5. For each pancake, pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes.
6. Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
7. Remove from the skillet and keep warm while you repeat with the remaining batter.
8. Serve the pancakes hot, drizzled with maple syrup and garnished with fresh mint leaves.

Tips for the Best Results

• Use room-temperature ingredients for a better batter consistency.
• Don’t overmix the batter; it should be lumpy for the fluffiest pancakes.
• Make sure your skillet is properly preheated to achieve a golden exterior.
• Adjust the heat as needed to prevent burning; you want a nice golden-brown color.

Easy Variations

• For blueberry pancakes, fold in 1/2 cup of fresh or frozen blueberries into the batter.
• Try chocolate chip pancakes by adding 1/3 cup of chocolate chips to the batter.
• For a nutty flavor, mix in 1/4 cup of chopped walnuts or pecans.

What to Serve With It

• Fresh fruit like strawberries, bananas, or mixed berries.
• A side of crispy bacon or sausage links for a savory contrast.
• Whipped cream or yogurt for a creamy topping option.
