Buttermilk Pancakes
Does anyone actually scroll past a pancake recipe? I’m hoping not, because this recipe is a winner! And in case you’re thinking “oh but the store bought mix is so much easier” – I beg to differ! All you need is a bowl, a handful of ingredients and the ability to mix it all together! Most people know I take my breakfast recipes pretty seriously! It’s my favorite kind of food! And when it comes to pancakes, I’ll tell you a little secret – buttermilk. It’s all about the buttermilk.
Why Buttermilk?
Okay let us talk buttermilk for a second, because like I said it plays a pretty important role! Buttermilk is going to add complexity and depth to these pancakes. It’s what makes them softer than usual, and who doesn’t want the softest of pancakes? It will also help to achieve those perfectly golden pancakes with a little bit of bounce! Not only that but the acid in buttermilk is what helps kickstart the baking soda and baking powder into action for extra height! It also breaks down strands of gluten, which is why our pancakes are nice and tender.
Ingredient Notes
Flour – All purpose flour works great! Leavening agents – Baking soda and baking powder. Sugar – White granulated sugar Eggs – 1 large egg is all you need! Salt – Salt is what’s going to give flavor to the pancakes. Buttermilk – You can use regular milk if you like but you’re going to want to trust me on the buttermilk! Butter – Unsalted and melted.
