These fluffy buttermilk pancakes are a delightful breakfast treat, perfect for any morning.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together all the dry ingredients until well combined.
Sifting the dry ingredients ensures a smooth batter and prevents clumps.
In another bowl, beat the egg and mix it with the buttermilk and melted butter.
Make sure the butter is slightly cooled to avoid cooking the egg.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
A few lumps in the batter are okay; they will dissolve during cooking.
Heat a griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it. Pour batter onto the griddle to form pancakes of your desired size.
Use a ladle or measuring cup for evenly sized pancakes.
Flip the pancakes when bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. Cook until golden brown on both sides.
Avoid pressing down on the pancakes to keep them fluffy.
Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings such as syrup, butter, or fresh fruit.
Warm the syrup slightly for a more indulgent experience.
