These Pancakes are Da Bomb

We eat a lot of pancakes in this joint. I mean, it's not like I am making a confession or anything. We would pretty much eat breakfast food all day, every day if we could. We like breakfast for breakfast, breakfast for lunch, and really like breakfast for dinner. We throw in some French toast or waffles every once in a while. But we don't take a walk on the wild side very often and tend to stick to pancakes.

Sometimes our pancakes are regular shaped and wonderfully circular.

But what fun is that?

Sometimes the circles are teeny tiny.

Sometimes they are in fun shapes for holidays. Sorry for the blur.

Sometimes they are crazy big monkeys that require a lot of technical skill to flip.

Sometimes they spell words.

Most of the time, they are butterflies.

But one thing that never changes is how the pancakes are made. The best thing about the recipe for these pancakes is you only need 2 bowls, one big and one small, a teaspoon, and a one cup measuring cup. Clean up is a breeze.

These pancakes are light and fluffy. But best of all, they are way tasty.

Buttermilk Pancakes

Supplies

1 cup flour

4 teaspoons sugar

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 cup buttermilk

1/3 cup milk

1 egg

2 tablespoons melted butter

Make the Batter

In the small bowl, melt the butter and set aside to cool a little.

Remember how I said you only needed a one cup measuring cup and a teaspoon? For real, it's all you need. When measuring the milk, just guesstimate 1/3 cup. It doesn't have to be perfect. When you measure the baking soda and salt, only fill the teaspoon half way or a quarter full, respectively. No need to dirty 3 separate spoons. Just remember, they are only pancakes. We aren't making an angel food cake or anything.

Just throw everything in the large bowl, add the butter and stir until the ingredients are just combined. There will be lumps. Lumps are good. In fact, lumps are great. If you over mix, your batter will be tough and chewy instead of light and fluffy.

Cook your pancakes on a hot griddle. They are ready to be flipped when the tops of the cakes get nice and bubbly. When you flip it over, you will see the cake rise up a little. It's glorious. And magical. These cakes are so good.
