Ingredients

For the Pancakes:

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 pinch sea salt
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 cups buttermilk
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1/4 cup melted unsalted butter plus more for cooking

Instructions

Instructions

  • Step 1: Combine the Dry Ingredients - In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and a pinch of sea salt. Make sure there are no lumps in the flour for a smooth batter.
  • Step 2: Mix the Wet Ingredients - In another bowl, beat the eggs and then add the buttermilk, whole milk, and melted unsalted butter. Whisk until well combined.
  • Step 3: Combine the Mixtures - Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Using a whisk, gently mix until just combined. It's okay if there are a few lumps; overmixing can lead to dense pancakes.
  • Step 4: Preheat Your Cooking Surface - Heat your griddle or non-stick skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with more melted butter to prevent sticking.
  • Step 5: Cook the Pancakes - Once the skillet is hot, pour about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the cooking surface. Cook until you see bubbles forming on the top and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Step 6: Flip and Finish Cooking - Carefully flip the pancakes and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown on both sides. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more butter to the skillet as needed.
  • Step 7: Serve Warm - Serve your pancakes warm with your favorite toppings, such as maple syrup, fresh berries, or a sprinkle of powdered sugar. Enjoy the deliciousness!

Notes

  • For the fluffiest pancakes, let the batter rest for about 10 minutes before cooking.
  • Add chocolate chips or nuts to the batter for a fun twist.
  • If the batter is too thick, add a splash of milk until you reach your desired consistency.
