Ingredients

Gather everything before you start cooking.

Main

  • 1½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1¼ cups buttermilk
  • ¼ cup milk
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 large egg

For Serving (optional)

  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • ¼ cup maple syrup
  • ½ cup fresh berries

Steps

  1. 1

    Combine Dry Ingredients

    In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Ensure there are no lumps.

    ~2 min

  2. 2

    Combine Wet Ingredients

    In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, milk, melted butter, and egg until well combined.

    ~2 min

  3. 3

    Combine Wet and Dry

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a whisk or rubber spatula until just combined. A few lumps are okay; do not overmix, as this will result in tough pancakes.

    ~1 min

  4. 4

    Heat Skillet and Cook First Batch

    Heat a lightly oiled or buttered skillet or griddle over medium heat. Once hot, pour about ¼ cup of batter per pancake onto the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and bubbles form on the surface, and the edges look set. The internal temperature should be 200-205°F (93-96°C).

    ~6 min

  5. 5

    Cook Remaining Batches

    Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more butter or oil to the skillet as needed. Keep cooked pancakes warm in a low oven (around 200°F / 93°C) while you finish cooking.

    ~10 min

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve immediately with your favorite toppings such as butter, maple syrup, and fresh berries.
