Ingredients

For the pancake batter

• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 3 tablespoons sugar
• 3 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
• ¾ teaspoon salt
• 3 cups buttermilk
• ½ cup milk
• 3 eggs
• ⅓ cup butter, melted

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

🥄 Combining the dry ingredients thoroughly ensures even rising and flavor.

2. In a separate bowl, mix the buttermilk, milk, eggs, and melted butter until well combined.

3. Carefully pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Gently stir using a wooden spoon or fork until just blended.

🚫 Avoid overmixing! A few lumps are totally fine. Overmixing can lead to tough pancakes.

4. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium-high heat. You'll know it's ready when a few drops of water dance on the surface.

5. Use approximately ½ cup of batter for each pancake, pouring or scooping it onto the heated surface. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and brown the other side.

6. Serve hot with your favorite toppings and enjoy!

🍯 Classic toppings include maple syrup, fresh berries, or yogurt. Get creative and try nut butter, whipped cream, or even chocolate chips mixed into the batter!

Variations

• Whole Wheat: Substitute half the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour for added nutrition and a slightly nutty flavor.
• Banana Pancakes: Mash one or two ripe bananas and fold them into the batter before cooking for a delicious, fruity twist! 🍌
• Chocolate Chip: Add a handful of chocolate chips to the batter for a sweet treat that kids will adore!
• Dairy-Free: Replace buttermilk and milk with non-dairy alternatives and use coconut oil instead of butter for a dairy-free version.

Tip: To keep pancakes warm while you cook the rest, place them in a warm oven (about 200°F) until ready to serve.

Enjoy your fluffy, golden pancakes! 🍴🥞
