Homemade Buttermilk Pancakes

Are you ready to dive into the fluffy world of buttermilk pancakes? These iconic breakfast treats are a beloved classic for a reason - their light, airy texture and tangy flavor make them a favorite on breakfast tables everywhere.

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour
• 3 tablespoons of granulated Splenda or sugar
• 1 teaspoon of baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon of salt
• 1 1/2 cups of buttermilk
• 1 large egg
• 3 tablespoons of butter, melted

Instructions:

To prepare your buttermilk pancake batter, simply whisk together the dry ingredients, then add the wet ingredients and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter, as this can lead to tough pancakes.

Once your batter is ready, heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and grease it with butter. Pour a ladleful of batter onto the skillet and cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook until golden brown. Repeat with the remaining batter, and serve hot.

Flipping Techniques for Fluffy Pancakes

When flipping your pancakes, use a spatula to gently lift and turn them over. Avoid pressing down on the pancakes while cooking, as this can deflate them and make them less fluffy. A gentle touch is key to achieving light and airy pancakes.
