Instructions
How to make Buttermilk pancake from scratch - In a medium bowl, add all-purpose flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder and a pinch of salt. Mix it well by stirring it few times using a wooden spoon.
Microwave the butter stick for 1 minute to get the 2 tablespoons of melted butter. In another medium bowl, break the egg, pour melted butter, freshly homemade buttermilk (check how to make buttermilk recipe in the notes section) and milk.
You can either use hand whisk or if you are using an electric whisk, keep the speed to medium and whisk till it blends.
Pour the wet ingredients mixture into the dry ingredient flour mixture and stir it for few times to get a lumpy medium thick consistency batter. Do not over stir otherwise the final pancake will be dense and hard. Don't worry about the lumps.
Heat the griddle, if you sprinkle few drops of water on the hot griddle and they disappear, then the griddle is ready.
Prepare the griddle by brushing the vegetable oil or butter and scoop the batter with 1/4 cup of measurement and pour it on the griddle. Once the edge becomes golden brown flip it to the other side.
Repeat it with rest of the batter. Do not press the pancakes with the ladle. Just pick it from the griddle and keep it on the serving plate.
Always serve the fluffy buttermilk pancakes hot with the maple syrup or honey. The slightly tangy flavour due to buttermilk goes very well with the any sweet syrup.
