Here’s a classic recipe for Old Fashioned Pancakes that are fluffy and delicious, perfect for a hearty breakfast!
Old Fashioned Pancakes
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 cup buttermilk (or milk with 1 tbsp lemon juice or vinegar added)
- 1 large egg
- 2 tbsp melted butter (plus extra for cooking)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, combine the buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract (if using). Mix until well combined.
- Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined; some lumps are okay. Be careful not to overmix.
- Heat the Griddle: Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter.
- Cook the Pancakes: Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Serve: Serve warm with maple syrup, fresh fruit, or your favorite toppings.
Tips
- For fluffier pancakes, let the batter rest for about 5-10 minutes before cooking.
- You can add chocolate chips, blueberries, or nuts to the batter for extra flavor.
Enjoy your delicious Old Fashioned Pancakes!
