Buttermilk Pancakes

Servings 4 portions

Ingredients
  

  • 250 g plain flour
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 450 ml buttermilk
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract
  • 60 g unsalted butter
  • pinch salt

Instructions
 

  • Add all dry ingredients to a bowl.
  • In a measuring cup, whisk the buttermilk, vanilla extract, eggs and melted butter until smooth.
  • Add the buttermilk mixture to the dry ingredients by folding it in with a spatula moving in a figure of eight. Attention: Don’t overmix it otherwise you will get dense pancakes.
  • Melt a bit of butter in a pan over low to medium heat. When the butter begins to bubble, add a 2/3 of a ladle of the batter to the pan.
  • Cook until the bottom is golden brown and the top side slightly bubbles. Flip the pancake and cook until the underside is golden brown.
  • Repeat
  • I like stacking three smaller pancakes: a pancake, some Greek yoghurt, a few blueberries, a bit of maple syrup and then do the next layer. But my personal Pancake Day favourite is crushed up mini creme eggs that slightly melt and fresh strawberries.
