Ingredients:

  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tbsp melted butter

Instructions:

  1. Make Batter:
    • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
    • In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, and melted butter.
    • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined; avoid overmixing for fluffy pancakes.
  2. Cook Pancakes:
    • Heat a griddle or large skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or non-stick spray.
    • Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the griddle for each pancake.
    • Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges start to set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook the other side until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes more.
  3. Serve:
    • Serve the pancakes hot, stacked, and topped with butter and syrup for a classic IHOP experience.

Tips for Success:

  • Use Fresh Buttermilk: Fresh buttermilk adds tanginess and tenderness to the pancakes.
  • Avoid Overmixing: Mix the batter just until combined to keep the pancakes light and fluffy.
  • Temperature Control: Maintain medium heat to avoid burning the pancakes while ensuring they cook through.

Wine, Cocktail, Drink Pairing:

Pair your pancakes with a classic mimosa, a rich hot chocolate, or a freshly brewed cup of coffee for a delightful breakfast.
