These fluffy buttermilk pancakes are a delightful breakfast treat, perfect for a cozy morning.
Combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar in a mixing bowl.
Sifting the dry ingredients ensures a smoother batter.
In another bowl, whisk together the egg, buttermilk, and melted butter.
Make sure the butter is slightly cooled to avoid cooking the egg.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
Heat a griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it.
Use a non-stick spray or a small amount of butter for greasing.
Pour batter onto the griddle, about 1/4 cup per pancake, and cook until bubbles form on the surface.
Flip the pancakes gently to avoid breaking them.
Flip the pancakes and cook for another minute or until golden brown.
Adjust the heat if the pancakes brown too quickly.
Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings.
Classic toppings include maple syrup, butter, and fresh berries.
