Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 1 large egg
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• Additional butter for cooking
• Maple syrup for serving
• Fresh rosemary for garnish (optional)

How to Make Fluffy Buttermilk Pancakes

1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
2. In another bowl, mix the buttermilk, egg, and melted butter until smooth.
3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; some lumps are okay.
4. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a small amount of butter to coat the surface.
5. Once the skillet is hot, pour 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface (about 2-3 minutes).
6. Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
7. Remove from the skillet and keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more butter to the skillet as needed.
8. Serve the pancakes warm, drizzled with maple syrup and garnished with fresh rosemary, if desired.

Tips for the Best Results

• Use room temperature ingredients for better mixing.
• Don’t overmix the batter; it should be slightly lumpy for the fluffiest pancakes.
• Allow the skillet to heat properly before adding the batter to avoid soggy pancakes.
• You can test the skillet’s readiness by flicking a drop of water on it; if it sizzles, it’s ready to go.

Easy Variations

• Add blueberries or chocolate chips to the batter for a fruity or sweet twist.
• Substitute half the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour for a healthier option.
• For a seasonal touch, incorporate pumpkin puree and spices in the fall.

What to Serve With It

• Fresh fruit like strawberries, bananas, or blueberries.
• Bacon or sausage for a savory contrast.
• Yogurt or whipped cream for added creaminess.
• A sprinkle of powdered sugar for a touch of sweetness.
