How to make homemade Fluffy Pancakes:

Combine the milk with the vinegar in a small bowl and whisk together. This makes homemade buttermilk. Set it aside for 5 minutes to sour.

In a medium bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix together.

Next, whisk together the egg and butter into the homemade buttermilk. Click for a whisk.

Pour the wet ingredients into the flour mixture and whisk together until combined and no lumps remain. 

If adding optional fruit, stir it in now just until combined.

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and coat with cooking spray or cooking oil. I prefer oil for a crispier finish.

Pour 4 equal circles of batter onto the skillet and cook until bubbles appear on the surface and the bottom is golden brown.

Flip them over gently with a spatula and cook until the second side is golden brown. Each side should only take a few minutes.

Serve with your favorite pancake toppings and enjoy!
