Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1/3  cup  milk
  • 1  Tablespoon  white vinegar
  • 1/2  cup  all-purpose flour
  • 1  Tablespoon  white sugar
  • 1/2  teaspoon  baking powder
  • 1/4  teaspoon  baking soda
  • 1/4  teaspoon  salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 1  Tablespoon  butter (melted)
  • Optional - 1/2 cup fruit or chocolate chips (diced strawberries, blueberries, mashed ripe banana)

Instructions
 

  • Combine the milk with the vinegar in a medium bowl and whisk together. This makes homemade buttermilk. Set it aside for 5 minutes to sour.
  • In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix together.
  • Next, whisk together the egg and melted butter into the homemade buttermilk.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk together until combined and no small lumps remain. 
  • If adding optional fruit or chocolate chips, stir it in now just until combined.
  • Heat an electric griddle to 350 degrees F. (or a large skillet over medium-high heat) and coat it with cooking spray or vegetable oil. I prefer oil for a crispier finish.
  • Pour 4 equal circles of pancake batter onto the non-stick pan in a single layer 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 like maple syrup and enjoy!

Notes

  • You can also try gluten-free flour and oat milk to make gluten-free pancakes.
  • Add in fruit or chocolate chips, and your favorite toppings like butter, peanut butter, maple syrup, or jam if desired.
  • You can use two egg whites instead of one large egg.
