Ingredients

  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 large egg room temp
  • 1 cup buttermilk room temp
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter

Instructions

  • In a bowl, combine the flour, sugar, salt, and baking soda. Use a whisk to mix until just combined. Spread the flour mixture onto the corners of the bowl essentially creating a well in the center.
  • Crack an egg into the well and pour the buttermilk and melted butter on top of the egg. Using a rubber spatula break the egg yolk and stir to combine. DO NOT OVERMIX. A few small clumps are okay, you just want to work out the major flour pockets.
  • Heat a griddle or nonstick skillet over medium high heat. Once hot, you can spray with cooking spray fit you'd like, I usually skip it and go straight with the batter. Using a 1/3 cup measuring cup, pour the batter into the skillet.
  • Allow the pancakes to cook about 1-2 minutes per side or about 3-4 minutes total. Repeat with the remaining batter.
  • Serve the pancakes topped with pancake or maple syrup and a ton of fresh berries, granola or sliced almonds! YUMMY!

Notes

  • Keep in mind that the cooking time for the pancakes will vary based on the thickness of your skillet. I used a 1/3 cup measuring cup to pour the batter into the skillet and ended up with 6 (4inch) pancakes.
