- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

How to Make Fluffy Buttermilk Pancakes
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
- In another bowl, whisk the buttermilk, egg, and melted butter until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a little butter or oil to coat the surface.
- For each pancake, pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes.
- Flip the pancakes and cook for another 1-2 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Transfer the pancakes to a plate and cover to keep warm while you repeat with the remaining batter.
- Serve the pancakes stacked high, topped with fresh raspberries and strawberries.
Tips for the Best Results
- Use room temperature buttermilk and eggs for better mixing and fluffiness.
- Let the batter rest for a few minutes before cooking to enhance texture.
- Avoid pressing down on the pancakes while they cook; this keeps them fluffy.
- Adjust the heat as needed to ensure pancakes cook evenly without burning.
Easy Variations
- Add chocolate chips or nuts to the batter for extra flavor.
- Substitute half the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour for a heartier pancake.
- Mix in spices like cinnamon or vanilla extract for a flavor twist.
What to Serve With It
- Maple syrup or honey for drizzling.
- Whipped cream for a decadent touch.
- A side of crispy bacon or sausage links for a savory balance.
- A sprinkle of powdered sugar for a touch of sweetness.
